PUBtIC WbTICES. j WHAT SAVING MONEY ON A SUIT MEANS. "When we talk about saving money On =» iuir the fact rarely .cornea i.hpnie; To the general public "What does this moan.' Cne of our customers put the matter more tersely and more dearly than wo liave ever 'fceard'it stated before. He wrote to us: "For a long time 1 read your advertisements and meant t« come "lons a'liout a »uit. Finally I did 5... Vuur salesuian Eave mc all the details, tela mc how the Sit wonld be made. *wd»ttj ■eampleti, ami 1 save uiy order without besl--tetion. I was convinced that 1 would get a Tfciit absolutely a perfect lit at a big revueTtion on the price i usually paid. The day -It 'was to be ready 1 was there on time, changed imo the suit, found that it fitted mc like a glove, and was satisfactory "> every way. I handed the salesman a fivepond n.»t?. Usually I received back a little piece of paper with a stamp and -Uecenea Tvith thanks" on it. This time 1 liad quite a handful of money in addition. lr was a now experien.-e. 1 could not understand itSomehow 1 felt that 1 OUGHT TO SI'KXU •that money. So 1 bought myself a new hat. Then 1 bought a new shirt, a collar, and a. tie. Toa wonld think that the end of the money was reached now. but liot a bit of It. I bought a little present for the baby, and gave mv wife the balance, which was sufficient to buy her a smart hat and a pair of .gloves." Now read that again, you men who like to --work on sound business lines. This customer te only one of hundreds who could have acted in the same way. and there arc many '.hundreds more who only need some such concrete example to make thvin go and do iikewise. The fact is that nowadays there Is no reason why invention should stop short before cheapening the cost of men's clothes. For a long time it was thought that a wel!-fittins suit SHOULD cost Mve Guineas, but tile advent of The Crown Clothing Company has altered that. r What we state and what we prove every day of each week in the year is that we can make for you a perfectly fittin-g suit of S°°<l jnaterial. "well finished in every way, AT •WHOLESALE PHICE. We do it by our scientific system of measurement, by our careful sele'etion of our -warehouse sites and ■by purchasing, direct from the mills in great quantities for cash. We sell for cash, and thereby cue out the cost of tiookkeeping and risk of bad debts, which have to be paid bj someone. -• •We hav-e three warehouse? —Auckland. Wellington and Christehurch —each, doing a jinblic service, showing men how to e-ave money by purchasing their snits wholesale. !These three sections of the business, as may *c imagined, require a tremendous amount jpf cloth. We buy from the mills direct, and the size of our joint ordc-. coupled with !she fact that "we pay cash, gives us the best ierms it is possible" for any one to get. We believe in cash trading for onrselv.es as well as for our enstomers. Someone has to make Tip for Use man who does not pay. and that 3s why the credit_tailQ£ is.sincere when he ■ays he cann-jt j*ake you a suit under Five Guineas. Certainly 'we must be content ■with a mucli smaller margin of profit on each snir: bnf-onrtnhiorer is so much greater that it more than compensates us. ' Thee there is the matter of a site. Onrs iwas chosen after careful deliberation. Our ■view is that the rent of a main street fron--tage te not justified. Xo matter where we ."located, we could not attract the eye of .every. With.. us.it.ris .not the midst "of th> warehouse section," fifty yards from the main street, is not going to tire any. of"ouif aetive'yomig 'men customers, or their parents either. We continnally send out a definite message to men. "We can give you a perfect-fitiing suit at ■wholesale price," Men know that this -means -a big saving, and If we lived a mile off t2ie-Ciry centre come in—because we haver "made good." JJen know -that we- can provide them with perfectlyfitting. \veH-mafle siiltsCorjßood material because they see-taeir friends and acquaint"ances weaotng them. ~ ;lt is an easy matter for any man to prove for lumeslf. All he has to do is visit our -warehoese in Elliott Street, just opposite the Strain! Arcade. Here he will be shown the material, the snits ready to send out. and of obtaining perfect fit at the minimum of expense and waste time. Then itj: depends entirely upon himself whether Jie gives us an. order or not. We know qnite well that our method of working will appeal to him, and that one day sooner or later he will come to us and buy his eraits at wholesale instead of continuing to pay the full retail prices. 2Co suit goes out unless the pnrchaser is perfectly satisfied with it. If he chooses he can 'bring his wife or lister ana ask her opinion oT the suit before he takes it- We are content to abide by the lady",; critical Judgment: - We know that we can satisfy the most careful dresser, and of the thousands of suits we have made there has never "tieen one refnsed. Note the and Sire ns an early call.
