A SMART SUMMER SUIT. £2 ss, £2 10s, £2 15s and £3 3s. MADE TO MEASURE. mHE SUITS now being made by JL GEORGE DA VIES., at his sample rooms m the Arcade, at the above prices, are rosily superb m style, fit and finish. Ihey equal m appearance the sui'.-. A.shburton men have been m the l.i.oit of paying the tailors who gi'.e 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 tho best London and New York tailor- | m- 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 Christchureli establishment since, the "Keep-Shape" front was introduced have been highly pleased with the splendid coats produced. Then, special care is given to every detail m the making of every garment; and MiDa vies 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 with the garments when you re- j eeive them. We attribute the differ- j once of £2 m the price of Mr Dayies's suits as compared with the ordinary made-to-measure suite largely to the modern methods adopted m the making of the garments, and, of course, also to tho facb that ho sells entirely for cash, giving no credit whatever, thus 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 nay 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 largo shipment of the newest Summer Suitings direct from tho manufacturers. They include all tho latest shades and colourings m the fashionable brown and green worsteds co much worn now, also many beautiful light materials, and the standard qualities m blue? and blacks, which art! guaranteed to retain thencolour, iicins^ of the best possible dye. Your early inspection of these splendid suitings is invited, and advised. Theaddress is : GEORGE DAVIES, THE ARCADE, Also at Christchureli, Wellington, Dunndin, Invorcargill, Palmerston Timaru, and Wangaiwi.
