A SMART SUMMER SUIT. £2 ss, £2 10s, £2 15s and £3 3s. MADE TO MEASURE. T**E SUITS now being made by GEORGE DA VIES, .at hie 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 <:i paying the tailors who give ered.t- five and six guineas for, and they [>obee6s one point which no other (inn can supply—the famous KeeprihapeLront. The "Keep-Shape" Front is a registered front that ensures the coat front from turning back and gettiu" out of shape. It is the latest idea from the b&st London and New York tailorin- establishments, and Mr Da vies is very fortunate indeed m possessing the exclusive right to use this front m coats made m New Zealand. Gentlemen avlio have already had suits made at the Ohristclmrch establishment sinco the ■' Keep-Shape " front was introduced have been highly pleased with the splendid coats produced. Then, special care is given to every detsiil m the making of every garment and Mr Da vies is so satisfied that your suit -will give complete satisfaction when you order it from him that ho has authorised us to state that lie will give a written guarantee to refund your money _ should you not be entirely satisfied with tho 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 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 »ay 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 tho Ashburton branch a very large shipment of the newest Summer Suitings direct from the manufacturers. They include I all the latest shades and colourings m the fashionable brown and green worsteds so much worn now, also many beautiful light materials, and the standard qualities m bluof and blacks, which are guaranteed to retain their colour, being of the best possible dye.
