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 hissampli rooms in the Arcade, at the above prices, are really superb in style, fit and finish. They equal in appearance the suil6 Ashburton men have been in 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 and New York tailor- j iri" establishments, and Mr Davies is very fortunate indeed in possessing the exclusive right to use this front in coats made in New Zealand. Gentlemen who have already had suits made at the Christchurch establishment since the '' Keep-Shape;' front was introduced have been highly- pleased.; with the splendid coats produced; Then,' special ic'areis given to every- detail hi 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 with the garments when you receive them. We attribute the difference of £2 in the price of Mr Dayies's suiis as compared with the ordinary made-to-measure suits largely to the | modern methods adopted in the making of the garments, and, of course, also to the fact 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 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 in the Ashburton branch a very large shipment of the newest Summer Suitings direct from the manufacturers. They include all the latest shades and colourings in the fashionable brown and grocn worsteds so much worn now, also many beautiful light materials, and the standard qualities in bluer and blacks, which are guaranteed to 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, Invercargill, Palmerston Tiniaru. and Wancanrii.
