Tomorrow Is Children's Day and Santa Clausls Here in the
Looking Back Over the Past
Years We Believe
this business to be a worthy one, and therefore we have
resolutely and unceasingly given the best in us to act
and to do the things which make it of the greatest use
hi our day and generation.
It has had the calm earnestness of our lirst plans,
the lire of our lirst youth in working out our beliefs
and now it has the joy and strength of a second and
liner youth full of dearly bought experiences which
should make our present undertakings of greater
service to our city and to the world.
It is a constant inspiration to us to be on the way
to the full realization of the great ideals which once
were only youthful dreams.
Achievement for ourselves always seemed to be an
achievement of advantage to others as well as our
selves. We beliee the city, as a city, has become more
widely known by the connections we have made
throughout the world.
It is also plain to be seen that its methods and
examples have affected favorably almost all the store
keeping of the last half century.
It's "a tale of two citic&" as Charles Dickens called
his book, for Alexander T. Stewart had his young
hand in it clearly and unmistakably so far as New
York is concerned as long as he lived.

nowhere.
Tawny yellows, golden brow lib,
tans, fawns, turquoise, old bluo
and ultramarine are the favorite
hues, while the decoiative fea
tures are mainly discs, trellises
or fretworks, Greek borders,
floral pieces, some times animal
and bird figuies such as the

For "The Respectable Back of Man"
as Carlyle Would Say
Uppermost in the inind of many a man, just now, is the ques
tion of what to put on his back; in other words, just what kind of
suit or overcoat to buy. Prudence and practicality point this out to
him as an immediate and personal Christmas problem.
Please take notice that this i& remote from t.uch familiar Decem
ber appeals as "Why not a new pair of trousers for Christmas?" and
similar clever "suggestions."
But the plain fact is that mun muu now need new clothes above
all other things, and all men like to buy their own clothes, and hardly
any man will feel as happy this Christmas as he should feel and
might feel if his clothes are not tolerably good.
From the standpoint of time and convenience tomorrow is the day
for such men to buy new clothes.
From the standpoint of quality, service, style and value we have
endeavored to make this the best store for them to buy in, and wo
aro as sure as wo can be of almost anything that theie is none better.
Suits, 32 to 80.
Overcoats, 3S to 80.
i Fur-collar overcoats, 100 and $125.
Fur-lined overcoats, 175 to 375.
