authority says: 'It secme that they are

that It Is In no way the result of Mos

These atrocities ate viewed by the

A gift of a Salt overcoat to a man will be a wel
come departure from the inane cuatom of giving
him something he does not want and cannot use.
t We would not for the world destroy any Christmas illusions,
but we do know that a lot of men this Yuletide will contemplate
some useless gift with the mental reservation that they would
rather have the money. We merely suggest a Saks overcoat as a
pleasant surprise. However, bethat as it may, one thing we want
to impress upon you is the spectacular range of the Saks selec
tions, at a time when most overcoat stocks are thinning out like
snowflakes in a thaw. Ours would thin out, too, but for our policy
of replenishment which keeps our stocks at high water mark right
up to ringi ng in the New Year and ringing out the Old!

breasters, single breasted fly-fronts and button-throughs,

wit h out-weight-wool en coats, knitted coats coats in
all models, in all materials, and in a range of
shades as numerous as the shades of political opinion.
