Copyright, 1916, by Abercrombie & Fitch Co., New York HERE is a whole-souled sturdiness about a Christmas gift from "The Greatest Sporting Goods Store in the World" which no other gift can possibly possess. It has much of the suggestion of those early Christmases when logs blazed within and the snow drifted without — when men and women traveled over hills and down the dales to the music of sleigh- bells, bound for a cheery Christmas hearthstone far removed from city scenes. That wonderful outdoor Christmas spirit still survives — and it is appealed to with emphasis by the sporting gift articles herein presented. To give your friend that which he will most like to receive — study his hobbies. The gift which appeals to his favorite sport brings the glow to his heart and his cheek. For the woman and the boy and the girl who love outdoor life and indoor games, this store contains a wealth of suggestions not to be found elsewhere. Always the most interesting shop in America, as Christmas approaches its attractive- ness is multiplied. May we suggest an early personal visit — or an early order by mail, before the final rush of holi- day shopping? 2 Abercrombie & Fitch Company Cabinet of Games Solid mahogany cabinet on legs, brass bound throughout, height from floor 44 in., width 24 in. square; has 4 drawers; top opens on hinges showing solid mahogany 22-in. roulette wheel with and 00.
