FUBLZC NOTICES. WHAT SAVING MONEY ON A SUIT MEANS. - When we talk about saving money on a suit tbe .fact rarely comes home to the general public "What does this mean?" | One of our customers put the matter more : tersely and more clearly than we .have ever heard it stated before. He wrote to us: "For a long time I read your advertisements and meant to- come along about a suit. Finally I did so. Your salesman gave mc all the detalle, told mc how the suit would be made, showed mc the samples, and I gave my order without hesitation. I was convinced that I would get a suit absolutely a perfect fit at a big reduction on the price I usually paid. The day It was to be ready 1 was there on time, changed Into the suit, found that It fitted mc like a glove, and was satisfactory In every' way. I handed the salesman a fivepond, note. Usually I received back a little piece of paper with a stamp aud 'Beceived with thanks' on it. This time I had quite a.handful of money lv addition, lc was a new. experience. I could not understand It. Somehow I felt that I OUGHT TO SPEND that money. So I bought myself a new hat. Then 1 bought a new shirt, a collar, and a tie. You would think that the end of the money was reached now, but not a hit of it. 1 bought n little present for the baby, aud gave my wife the balance, which was sufficient to buy her a smart hat and a lialr ot gloves." Now read that again, you men who like to work ou sound business Hues. This customer Is only one of hundreds who could have acted in the same way, aud there are many hundreds more who only,need some such concrete example to make them go and do I likewise. The fact Is that nowadays there is no reason why Invention should stop short before cheapening the coe<t of men's clothes. For a long time it was thought . . that a well-littlng suit SHOULD cost Five 1 Guineas, but the advent of The Crown Clothing Company has altered that. | What we state and what we prove every day of each weak In the year is that we can j make for yon a perfectly fittlug suit of g°°d material, well finished iv every way. AT . WHOLESALE PltlCE. We do it by our scientific system of measurement, by our careful selection of enr warehouse sites and by purchasing direct from th» mills in groat quantities for cash. We sell for cash, and thereby cut out the cost of 'bookkeeping and risk of. had debts, which have to be paid by someone. I We have three warehouses—Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch—each doing a public service, showing men how to cave 'money by purchasing their suits wholesale. These three sections of tlie business, as- may be imagined, require a tremeudoug amoimc of cloth. We buy from the mills direct, aud the size of our joint order, coupled with the fact that we pay cash, gives us the best -. terms it Is possible for any one to get. We ! believe In cash trading for ourselves as well as for our customers. Someone has to make' up for the man who does not pay, aud that Is why the credit tailor is sincere when he cays he cannvt make you a suit under Five , Guineas. Certainly we must be content ' with a much smaller margin of profit lon each suit: but our turnover Is so much greater that it more than compensates us. Then there Is the matter of a site. Ours was chosen after careful deliberation. Our view is that the rent of a main street frontage fc» not justified. No matter where we located, we could not attract the eye of every possible customer. With us It is not I a catch trade, and the fact that we are In , the midst of the warehouse section, fifty j yards from the main street. Is not going Ito tire any of our active youug men customers, or their parents either. We continually send out • definite message to men. "We can give you a pertect-flttlug suit at wholesale price." Men know that this means a big saving, aud If we lived a mile off the-City centre they would come iu—beennse we have "made good." Men know that we can provide them with perfectlyfitting, well-made suits of good material because they sec their friends and acquaintances v. earing them. - -It Is anjfeasy matter for any man to prove for himeelf. AU he has to do Is visit our warehouse In Elliott Street, Just opposite the Strand Arcade.. Here he' will be shown the material, the suits ready to send out, and our method of obtaining perfect fit at the minimum of expense and waste timeThen it depends entirely upon himself whether he gives us an order or not. We know quite well that our method of working will appeal to hun, and that one day sooner or later he will come to us and .buy his'suits at wholesale instead of continuing to pay the full retail prices. No suit goes out unless the purchaser is perfectly satisfied with it. If he chooses he can bring his wife or flster and ask her opinion of the suit before he takes lt. We are content to abide by the lady's critical judgment. We know that we can satisfy the most careful, dresser, and of the thousands of suits we have made there has never been one refused. Note the address and give us an early call. <-««.»
