FACTS FOR MEN. SOMETHING IT PAYS TO KNOW ABOUT HIGH-CLASS SUITS. EXORBITANT PRICES BEING CHARGED. Every man who studies bis appearance and his pocket -will find the following inside facts about the tailor-, ing business both interesting and pro-, fitable. As every man knew to his sorrow until recently, it was necessary m New Zealand to pay four, five, or six guineas to the usual old-style tailor, for a suit made-to-measure. While these prices are exorbitant, let it not be understood that the poor unfortunate credit tailor does not make a tremendous profit for himself even when securing these high prices. The trouble is that he does not get paid for quite a lot of the suits he makes, making tremendous losses m bad debts, and then his method of manufacture is antiquated, m'-viy. and by no means altogether saiiFiacto.y m results. Now the intelligenf reader "t this article will readily set; that b eliminating bad debts altogeuier and doing business on a strictly cash basis, also by eliminating the antiquated methods m vogue m the tailoring trade for so many years past,, and adopting the modern labour-saving devices m the making of men's garments to measure as now adopted m Lapland not only could better "ar.nnnts be produced, but a very consistbJe saving m the price of Fiiclr garments to the public be effected. It was recognising these facts that led Mr George Davies, the well-known suit specialist, to open business on modern lines, and undertake to make suits to measurr for gentlemen at from £2 10s to £i 15s which would be at least the equal m fit, style, finish, and quality oi material of the suits being charged four, five, and six' guineas for elsewhere. The result of this enterprise is that to-day men m every town m New Zealand' where Mr Davies has opened np branch establishments are saving £2 on the price of their suits made-to-measure, and m addition are securing a style and satisfaction m these garments seldom, if ever, procurable before, no matter how high the price paid. Just now this firm is showin« some exceptionally high qnnhty fashionable materials, just landed direct from the best British and Colonial Mills. The address of the Ashburton branch is the Arcade, and it is certainly worth every man's while who appreciates style and quality, fit and finish, and the saving of £2 m the price of the suit, to inspect the window display now being made at this establishment. The fullest investigation is invited by this firm, and every courtesy m submitting samples and prices will be extended co every interested inquirer.
