THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19.
Good Christmas gifts for men and
' Here are right gifts for men, things that they
buy for themselves when they need any. 'Come and
choose.
How would a Hart, Schaffner & Marx or Rogers,
Peet & Co. line overcoat do; or a full dress suit, or
even a business suit? A bit unusual as a holiday
gift, but all the better for that, maybe.
/ \
You’ll find a wealth of lesser things here, of
course; things men want, need, constantly buy for
themselves. If you don’t know his size, and can’t
find out without “giving yourself away,” we’ll ex
change anything you buy that doesn’t fit, for some
thing that does. /
And here are best gifts tor boys, too. Good
Suits and Overcoats from Rogers, Peet & Co. and
Ederheimer, Stein & Co.—America’s best makers of
boys’ clothes. ;
Hats, caps, shirts, sweaters, underwear, ties,
leggins, blouses—everything that boys wear; all of
good quality and in right styles.
If what you buy doesn’t, fit we’ll be glad to ex
change ft after Christmas. So if you’ve boys’ gifts
to buy, you can’t do better than come here.
