" PARK AVENUE AND FIFTY-NINTH STREET
NEW YORK
With an exhibition and sale of two important consignments of
duplicate volumes from the great private library of
MR. HENRY E. HUNTINGTON
of New York
Consisting 6f Rare Items of Americana and Early and Modern
English Literature,
The Library of Mr. Huntington is easily the greatest private
library in the world, and includes the collections formed by Mr.
E. D, Church, Mr. F. R. Halsey.vand Mr. Beverly Chew1, the Elles
mere Collection, the Britwell Collection of Americana, the Devon
shire Library, and important and generous purchases from the
Robert Hoe,Huth and other great sales. Mr. Huntington has
inevitably acquired duplicates of even the rarest items. When
only three copies of "Tamrrlane" were known, one copy was in
the British Museum and two copies in Mr. Huntington's posses
sion. It is very often difficult for Mr. Huntington to decide wTilch
copy of a book he shall keep, and in many instances in the opinion
of many experts the best copy is sold, '
Mr. Huntington's duplicates are sojd absolutely without reserve to
the highest bidder at bublic auction. It is an opportunity for the
collector to secure volumes which may never again be offered at
public or private sale. Catalogues will be mailed on application
to The Anderson Galleries.

MEN!
Men, somehow or other, a good many
of them at least, seem to have an an'
tipathy for shopping in general, and
in a woman's store Jin particular.
We are frank to say that the propor
tion of men among our patrons is
not nearly as large as we would like
it to be.
This ought not to be, and we are
doing our utmost to change it. We
believe we can accomplish encourag
ing results if we can induce men just
to come in and examine the fur
values here offered in sets and scarfs
alone.
Viewing our display, seeing the won
derful fur opportunities we can' pre
sent will prove a most interesting
hour to any man. 1
Come in, men, and see how much
you save and how easy it will be for
you to select "her" Christmas gift.
