THINGS MEN SHOULD KNOW. » INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE MAKING OF SUITS TO MEASURE. HOW TO SAVE MONEY BUT AVOID DECEPTIONSECURE THE BEST GARMENTS MADE. Every man who formerly had to pay 4, 5, or 6 guineas to have a satisfactory suit made to his measure, and has since taken advantage of the modern methods adopted by a now wellknown firm of suit specialists, knows that there is no longer any need to pay the above exhorbitant prices to secure complete satisfaction m every [respect. The wonderful success and the rapid growth of the business conducted by Mr George Davies m this city, at 184 and 186 Colombo street, and also at every other principal centre throughout New Zealand, _is sufficient proof that men were tired of paying the old-style credit tailors the necessary exorbitant prices which they had to charge to cover their bad debts, and the costly antiquated methods they adopt m manufacture. Just as is the case, however, where any great success is achieved as the result of an honest, intelligent effort to serve the public well, a host of would-be imitators have put m an appearance attempting to deceive the public, and it is against these imitators we would specially warn our readers. You will find this kind of thing mostly among drapers and clothiers who handle ready- ! made clothing, mercery, and sometimes drapery, and almost every conceivable article worn by men, women and children. These firms advertise suits as low m price^as those produced by George Davies, m, some cases lower, | and when they have taken your mea- ! suremente they send your suit out to some factory where ready-made slop suits are made, and all sorts of garments of a cheaper kind. The result is that you would certainly have a I suit made to your measure by these various firms, but what sort of a Buit is it ? It is necessarily similar to the ready-made slop suits which are made I every day m these very factories for customers who cannot afford to pay even moderate prices for their suits. How different when you place your order with George Davies. Your suit is cut by an expert cutter of the highest skill, made m Mr Davies's own worki room under careful supervision, the j highest quality Italian cloth and hairI cloth ia used m the making of garments, and every little point m the making receives special care m your interests. Yet although the suits made by Mr Davies are the equal of any suits made m New Zealand, at any price, no matter how high, they cost you but a trifle more than a suit which you can have slop-made to your measure at almost any drapery, mercery or ready-made clothing establishment m the town. Some superb materials, just landed direct from tho world's best manufacturers, as well as from the colonial mills, are now shown for the winter season, both for sac suits, morning suits, evening dress suits and overcoats, and when you place your order with George Davies, the original and ony firm making four guinea suits from 50s to 60s, five guineas from 63s to 70s, and six guineas at 755, you secure a written guarantee of complete satisfaction or your money back.
