In every sense we count this the most important sale of its kind which we have ever conducted. Sizes 34 to 44, Distinctive Black Suits for Men At $15.00, $18.00 and $20.00. So long as dignity is held as an attribute of character, suits of black fabrics must find favor, At this season the demand is almost extraordinary. We have been fortunate enough to anticipate it, Our stock affords a most extensive collection of straight cut and long, loose Sack Suits of biack fabrics in a diversified series of post-season models and weavessuits true to their function, which demonstrate to what degree the finer phases of the tailormen’s craft can contribute to a man's dignity and personality. The fabrics embrace smooth and rough surface thibets, worsteds and cheviots. We present: At fifteen dollars, four single and double breasted madels. As gishtgen dollars, three single and double breasted models, Art twenty dollars, four single and double breasted models. Distinctive Overcoats for Men At $20.00 and $25.00 Ofttimes conditions tend to give to a certain phase of a budiness strength and benefits wholly beyond its province under normal conditions, As an instance, you may accept our Overcoats at twenty and twenty-five dollars. Instead of selecting garments for our stocks designed almost a twelve- month in advance from the general market, we tailor in our own shops those which the Saks label identifies. This makes it possible for us to extend our operations unto the eleventh hour, which insures that our models are abreast with it, At the fag end of their season the weavers are disposed to make material concessions in the prices of their cloths, The ad- vantages which accrue from these features are yours. Grant- ing us our normal percentage of profit, it is still possible for us to offer Overcoats at twenty and twenty-five dollars of a character which most of our contemporaries count well worth a third more—Overcoats in which individuality and distinct. iveness find full expression. The collection affords single ond double breasted Touriat Models (with or without belt), Paddock and Paletot Overcoats, all of which have established themselves in the favor of the discerning, together with the conservative single and double breasted Box Qvercoate, 44, 46, 48, 50 and 52 inches long, SPECIAL FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, Suits and Overcoats for Young Men atly R Involved are garments which determjne t e highest possi« bilities of the failorman’s cleverness in models which define the very latest knacks of the exclusive to-order tailor.
