PUBLIC NOTICES. t WHAT SAVING MONEY ON A SUIT MEANS. When we talk about earing money on a suit the fact rarely comes home to tbe 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 tv come along about a auit. Finally I did so. Your -salesman Cave mc all the detail-, told mc bow the suit would be made. - showed mc the sample., and I gave my order without hesitation. I was convinced that I wonld get a suit absolutely a perfect fit at a big reduction on the price 1 usually paid. The day it was to be ready I was there ou time, changed into the suit, found that lt 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 and "Received with thanks' on it. This time I had quite a handful of money In addition. It was a new experience. I could not understand it. Somehow 1 felt that I OUGHT TO SPKND 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 uot a bit of it. I bought a little present for the baby, and gave my wife the balance, which was sufficient to buy her a smart hat aud a pair of gloves." ' Sow rend that ng.iin, yon men who like to work on sound business lines. This customer _»• only one of hundreds who could have i acted in the same way, and there are many hundreds more who only need some such i concrete example to make tiwm go and do j likewise. The fact Is that nowadays there is no reason why Invention should stop short before cheapening the coft of men's I clothes. For a long time it was thought I that a well-tltting suit SHOULD cost Five I Guineas, but the advent of The Crown ] Clothing Company has altered that. What we state and what we prove every i I day of each week in tbe year is that we can make for you a perfectly fitting suit of good | material, well finished in every way, AT I WHOLESALE PRICE. We do It by our scientific system of measurement, by our careful selection of our warehouse sites and by purchasing direct from the mills in.great j quantities for cash. We sell for cash, and I , thereby cut out -ie cost ot _oo__eeplni; a.--' j risk ot bad debts, which have to. be pali / by someone. We have thr.'e warehouses—Auckland. I WeUington and Christchurch—each, doing a \ \ puhUo scrvko, sbow.ng men how to save J money by purrbasins tbeir suits wholesale. j These three sections of tbe business, as may , 'he Imagined, require a tremendous amount lot cloth. We buy from tbe mills direct, and the size of our joint order, coupled with the tact that we pay caoh, gires us the best terms it Is possible for any one to get. We I believe in cash trading for ourselves a_ well ' as for our customers. Someone has to make I up for the man who does not pay, and that Is why the credit tailor Is sincere when he Bays he caungt make you a suit under Five ' I 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 tvas chosen after careful deliberation. Our view is that the rent of a main street frontage ia not justified. No matter where we located, we could not attract the eye ot every possible customer. With us it Is not a catch trade, and the fact that we arc In the midst of the warehouse section, fifty yards from the main street, Is not going to tire any of our active young men customers, or their parents either. We continually send out • definite message to men, "We can give you a perfect-fitting suit at wholesale price." Men know that this means a big saving, and if we lived a mile oil the City centre they would come in—because 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 wearing them. It Is an easy matter for any man to prove for himself. All 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 aud waste time. Then 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 him, and that one day sooner or later- he will come to us and buy his suits at wholesale instead of continuinc to nay the full retail prices. So suit goes out unless the purchaser Is perfectly satisfied with It. If he chooses he can bring his wife or eister and ask her opinion of the suit before he takes it. 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.
