TAXXOBXHG. TAILORING TRADE DUMBFOUNDED. GEORGE DAVES SATES; YOU £8 ON TOUR SUIT TO l/KDEB. A better and. more, way. That's, EVERY MAN; who ha* had a suit to order from mc has said in effect. I am making friends ajl over, the. ft* minion among the, men-folk by my new system of tailoring. Where local residents depended more or les3 upon the uncertain abilities' of their local' tailors they, are, now. able to get an up-to-date. suit, of certain correctness in fit and material AT LEAST 40 SHILBTNGS LESS THAN THE SMALL TAILOJR ASSBD. That's because, of nay unique organisation. I am the first tailor to step gui of the ranks ajid acknowledge that tailoring prices are laden up. with bad debts in every tailor's case—that if- all would pay cash for their, suits the tailors would charge, well,, say 30 per cent. LESS for Suits to Order. But YOU pay for YOUR suit just that ; amount more than the actual value YOU receive, because YOU must bear YOUR share of the "bad marks" debts. But I've a different proposition. Let us. get together. My Suits to order range in price from 53/ up—suits that are' built to your measure, with all the care that conscientious cutters and tailors, are. capable of. Cut from precisely the same fabrics, both local and Home productions, as the other tailors in the shops of this, town are asking 95/ and 100/ for. But I ask; you tp pay cjashr-dmy business is on a cash basis entirely. Most likely you are doing" that at presentwell,' I can save, you two pounds on your next suit to order. I ask you to pay cash, because, the money being sure, I can put the last, penny possible in suit-value! I ask you to pay cash because I pay it myself—on the nailrTTrto. the mills and my Unionraward employees. I ask you to pay cash because my profit is so small on each suit that I couldn't give you that benefit of- the Davies Highgrade Tailoring system at so small a.price if the transaction wasn't closed at. ogee and the money in hand; Remember, my business is right in your midst. You can. call and see the magnificent materials-—rolls and rolls of them— that I offer for your selection, T ; bis. no. mail-offer that I make. Remember, too, that I guarantee suit-perfection, no matter what price you pay. And. not a verbal or elusive guarantee, either. A Printed Guarantee over my signature that the suit's got to fit you or you need not pay, and if a deposit has been put down it shall be refunded. Nothing more is possible on my part. This offer should appeal to any man shrewd enough to see the sincerity' of my methods.. Come in and see about your suit now. . .\ ..'
