Who Was Not Challenged Yesterday :

l want to challenge you-about your failure
to get your full moneys worth when buying
clothes.
Why be satisfied with suits that aren't hand
tailored in strict accordance with Fifth Ave-
nue. merchant tailoring standards?
Only one shop in New York specializes in
clothes genuinely hand tailored, ready-for-
use, made in full conformity with the
standard of the most exclusive Fifth Avenue
Merchant Tailors.
At this shop, price and quality standards are
the same as last season, despite rising costs.
These Genuinely hand tailored mems suits,
$500 to 5000 are pre-eminently the best

e There has probably never been a season when woolens we're so

those seasons where no obstacles existed. The wooden market has
literally brought the clothing business to its knees. 1t has served
only to put Saks' more firmly on their feet!
We have actually at this writing the biggest selection of overcoats
in all our history. We are showing more variety in fabrics than
ever before in our lives and more models as a consequence of that
variety. And in the matter of tailoring whether you consider the
cut, or the work of assembling. whether you look at their lines or
their deicatey matched skeleton Innings, whether you consider hem
