"The Christmas Feast
ON the night express from Montreal or rolling up from Rio—out on Ranch 101 or at the Westchester-Biltmore Club—the world-wide trail of the worldly Christmas Gift leads to the door of Abercrombie & Fitch.
Sportsmen and sportswomen cherish thoughts at Christmas which stretch from the flickering flames of the home hearthstone to the creeping shadows of the camp-fire whose 'brands burn dim and red.'
So the traveler's reveries float over the Yule log to the utmost end of the trail—and the Christmas dreams of outdoor boys and girls spread wing in the healthy atmosphere of sport.
Such is the sentiment, the imagination, attaching to these sporting Gifts—thousands upon thousands of them, for indoor use and out—that each gift will add to a whole year's pleasure; one for the desk or den of the city sportsman-business man, another for the pocket or gun-rack of a planter in Ceylon, still another for the son, the wife or the daughter.
The Christmas Feast is spread—and the latch-string is hanging out. Come."
