THE OLD JEST THAT
a man can't wear his Christina cravats
no longer holds if fminine purchasers
visit the men's wear section and take
advantage not only of their varied
stock, but well informed sales service,
which is capable of advising on mascu
line preferences.
J.JERE are Christmas stocks so immense and so boundless 'hi
variety that one could hardly attempt at any one time to see
everything gathered by this store that it might be of fullest pos
sible helpfulness in the Christmas plans of its patrons. Yet every
9
single gift article beautiful, decorative, utilitarian, wearable,
useable, acceptable for the home or the person was chosen with
the ever-present consciousness that the name of Branaeis Stores
shall always identify the gift worth while, irrespective of the par
ticular form the gift may take.
