2 New York men are
made up of those who
wear Saks clothes now
and those who are going

q Meanwhile, a word or
two about those in the
first-named category will
not be out of place.
rIf we could with pro.
priety throw open our

there is not a tailor In
this city could match
the Saks clientele, either
in number or character.
= Among the satisfied
wearers of Saks clothes
are judges, lawyers, &C.

tives, presidents of

ness institutions. and a
percentage of the leisure
classes which would
open some peoples eyes.
q Now, what does all
this mean but that the
merit of Saks clothes is
such that they meet the
requirements of every
man, no matter how lib
cral his income, no mat
ter how exquisite his
tastes, no matter how
exalted his station or
profession ?
q And since this holds
good with respect to
men with whom price is
