GIMBELS TO TAKE
ALL SAKS BUILDING
United Cigar Stores Not to Re-
tain Part When Property
Changes Hands.

Contrary to general impression, the
United Cigar Stores Company win not
retain any part OF the Saks building,
on the west side of Broadway from Thir-
ty-third street to Thirty-fourth street
when that property passes TO Gimbel
Bros. within year unGer a lease TO the
latter. The Gimhels have acquired the
entire Saks building and will use ii for
the expansion of their business.
Plans for the physical connection Of
the present Gimbel building. just south
OF the Saks structure. and the latter
have not been decided. on. but It has
been pointed out that by direct en-
frances from the bridge of the Sixth
avenue elevated railroads Thirty-third
street station the two buildings are
linked.
The two parcels represent one OF the
largest retail store realty holdings in the
world. The principal thing accomplished
by the acquiring of the property. ac-
cording TO Isaac Gimbers announcement,
will be the thing that Ginibel Bros
have always striven for and are now
sble to realize, that is. that joint oper-
ating expenses can be brought down to
such a level that ii will be possible to
offer the community prices commensu-
rately lower than present operating ex-
penses demand. 1t is estimated that
with the huge volume made possible by
the space expansion operating costs will
be so lowered as to establish the lowest
possible price level for goods OF estab-
liShed quality"
