Plush Coats, Astrachan Coats, Boucle Coats and THE PROPOSITION TO US @ In the first place, the maker solicited us, we did not solicit the maker. We mention this because there is a great difference between soliciting favors and heing asked to consider them. It is this circumstance which is chiefly responsible for the tremendous reductions in this offering. @ Briefly, these 846 garments are the surplus stock of one of the best coat makers in town. His winter season is over, and he wanted to clean up the halance of his stock and devote his attention to another season with a clean slate. To this end he sent for us, and, in order to be on the safe side, he invited us to make him a fair offer for his coats. | Whether the offer was fair or not he did not tell us, but he accepted it, with the result that we and you come into possession of the handsomest assortment of coats at 15.00 that ever fell to the lot of Saks & Company and its patrons. 85 Plush Coats 114 Plush Coats These coats are full length | Cutaway coat which but- models, with shawl collar | tons to the side with hand- and long revers.

In this great assortment of garments there is a range of selection which em- braces fo smartest and most wanted coat ideas of the season. Not merely the season’s styles, mind you, but the late season's styles, for every one of these coats has been made up during the past few weeks, and embodies the most recent features. More than this, the repatation of the maker is a sufficient assurance as to their quality in fabric and workmanship. They are made in the most wanted fabrics, capably tailored and poe finished. @ The price of 15.00, being of first importance, we have left it till the last. It does not cover cost of making; in many instances it does not cover cost of fabric; and in no instance does it begin to cover the cost of both. Nowhere else will 15.00 give you such latitude in # coat.
