A SMART SUMMER SUIT. £2 ss, £2 10s, £2 15s and £3 3s. MADE TO MEASURE. THE SUITS now being made by GEORGE DAVIES, at his sample rooms m the Arcade, at the above prices, are really superb m style, fit and finish. They equal m appearance the suite Ashburton men have been m the habit of paying the tailors who give credit five and six guineas for, and they possess one point which no other firm can supply—the famous KeepShape Front. The "Keep-Shape" Front is a registered front that ensures the coat front from turning back and getting out of shape. It is the latest idea from the best London aud New York tailorin" establishments, and Mr Davies is very fortunate indeed m possessing the exclusive right to use this front m coats made m New Zealand. Gentlemen who have already had suits made at the Ohristchurch establishment since the "Keep-Shape" front was introduced have been highly pleased with the splendid coats produced. Then, special care is given t-o every detail m the making of every garment, and Mr Davies is so satisfied that your suit -will give complete satisfaction when you order it from him that he has authorised us to state that he will give a written guarantee to refund your money should you not be entirely satisfied v'ith the garments when you receive them. We attribute the difference of £2 m the price of Mr Dayies's suits as compared with the ordinary made-to-measure suits largely to the modern methods adopted m the making of the garments, and, of course, also to the fact that- he sells entirely for cash, giving no credit whatever, thus I making no bad debts; and, after all, it ■ does seem absurd that one man should have to pay a higher price for his suit just because some, other fellow fails to pay for his..but that is.just what happens, for somebody has to pay for those who do. not pay, and it is naturally not the tailor who gives credit; it is the,man who "does pay—you. Mr Davies has just opened m the Ashburton branch a, very large shipment of the newest, Summer. Suitings direct from the manufacturers. They include all the latest shades and colourings m the fashionable brown and greon worsteds so much worn now, also many beautiful light materials, and the standard qualities m blues .and blacks, which are guaranteed tt> retain their colour, being of the best possible dye. Your early inspection of these splendid suitings is invited, and advised. The address is : GEORGE DAVIES, THE ARCADE, Also at Christchurch, Wellington, Dunedin, Invercnrgill. Palmerston Timaru, and Wanganni.
