Our clothing is practically custom made, different and better in every way than the ordinary ready-made sort—a rment that leaves this store is ‘the best advertisement we can put here sooner or later if you want the best, the at moderate prices. Broad, shapely shouldered, full back, single breasted sack Suits, of excellent workmanship, made in our own workrooms, and as perfect in point of fit and style as our higher priced garments. The fabrics are black and fancy cheviots. Usual price for suits as good as these, $14; our special price, $10. For the number of styles and the great variety of fabrics we show, this line of $15.00 Suits is famous among well dressed men. There's the new 3-button double-breasted, the military single-breasted and regular single breasted sack styles in black and blue cheviots, thibets, fancy worsted cheviots and the new overplaided greens and browns. Suits that are really worth $20.00; our special price $15.00, You'll ask yourself this question when you see these suits: What need for the custom tailor? He cannot Produce garments with more style or of finer work- manship or garments that tit more perfectly ; and few, if any, custom tailors can show so wide a variety of handsome fabrics as we do, Silk lined black thibets, dark and medium colors, in smooth-faced and untin- ished worsteds, plain, stripe, check, mottled and over- plaided effects; cut in the new single-breasted sack style—$25, —_—_—_—__ Long, loose, elegant garments, cut with a grace of line and breadth of shoulder that distinguish our over- coats from the ordinary ready-made sort. These are made of Oxford meltons and friezes and blue and black kerseys. Special at $12. Here's the long, loose, big shouldered great coat, with long, narrow, close-fitting collars and lapels—and the medium length overcoat, not quite so long, but cut on the same liberal, graceful lines as the extra lon; ones, made of blue and black kerseys, Oxford an black friezes, Oxford moulles and méltons; special at $15.00, _ These two garments represent the extreme of style— types that are made by the high-class Fifth Avenue tailors and worn by the best dressed men. The Sur- touts are double breasted and the Paddocks single breasted. To the waist they are cut to fit the body closely, with long full skirts. Special value at $20. —— You'll not find these overcoats at $25 in most ready-made clothing stores—your own tailor would not attempt to make you one for less than $35 or $40—and_per- haps then it wouldn't suit you as well as ours. Better look at ours first—they're cut very long and loose, broad shouldered, wid sleeves, made of soft, rich Oxford velours and Oxford and black meltons, silk lined throughout, ——__ For young men from the ages of 13 to 18, the new 3-button double-breasted and military single-breasted sack styles, made from fancy and plain blue and black cheviols, cassimeres and black thibets; special values at $3.00 and $10.00, ——— These overcoats for young men from the ages of 13 to 16 are cut as fulland broad and ie an per man overcoats—not cut down from our men’s patterns—but ppealy. for yOUne me and boys; Oxford gray friezes; special at $7 & $10.00, Popularity of the Lambert Custom of Laying Away Jewelry. The LAMBERT JEWELRY STORE announced last week that “Lay-Away Time” was here. The effect was instantaneous. One of the LAMBERT vaults is already filled with Diamond mounted jewelry for Christmas presents. It isa combination of sentiment and business. Now is the best time to select from the exceptionally full stock supplied by the LAMBERT FACTORY to the LAMBERT STORE. Then there isa sentimental satisfaction in knowing that this most im- portant detail of Christmas shopping is already accomplished. No worry—no delays at the end. Besides the hd&ts of old friends who awaited the announcement, the LAMBERT STORE finds it has attracted a host of new friends. It isa most flattering encouragement. Appreciation of twen- ty-six years of effort to supply the very finest jewelry the world offers at strictly manufacturers’ and importers’ prices is tne applause which has encouraged the business to its present bountiful fruition. An unusually iarge number of watches have already been selected and laid away. We examine, test, wind and regulate all watches before they are put in stock. But we wind every day those watches laid aside now. They, like all LAMBERT watches, go to their recipients in abso- lutely perfect condition. The New York Central and Long Island Railroads have selected the LAMBERT watchmakers to inspect the watches used on those BERT watches receive this constant inspection. the profits may in Europe by salers’ and retailers’ profits.

The diamonds are quoted at importer’s price, and the mounting is of hand-made 14 kt. gold, with platinum top, and at manufacturer’s price. Cluster and Single Stone Solid Gold Scarf-Pins, Cuts of scarf-pins never do them justice and it is imptu- dent to attempt to picture them, owing to the close imitation of spurious goods. In the LAMBERT stock now there is the largest assortment of beautifully tinted American pearls mounted in all kinds of odd effects ever seen, Prices, $5.00 to $50.00. .
