IHE WAR HAS MADE MEN MORE CAREFUL Many men who went to the credit tailor as :i matter ~f curse have come to us .luring the ii.-t .six months. Ti.ey looked nt the in.-ilii-r f.-iirlv nn-l sqnar.'iy. iiwl .-ni.t: "I nm i.ii.v „- Lo 7„ for my nut. It is wee i.i.-idc ee'i.i.',.y. lint m.ikin,--nits is not sii.-h nn iiu,.e.-ite j,.!..

Ii go rouuil anil see them-'' That's the de..isi.,u made by scores ot men who previously had looker! at our advertise.!,C'.l.s Will, interest, but somehow hadn't goL r.-im.l it, the poiut ot in..king personal inquiries. Waal pleases us Is that each new customer iiivariahly brings in another. He knows thai liis friend eaonot afford to pay retail price; any more than he himself ci.iil.l. ami. ivitn Ihe a, tual suit to show, tne saving is obvious. Our business In stcadilj lucrci'sing because of tliis reeomnieiidiiiion of saiisfied customers — the best form ol all The war time has shown this Increase in a more marked form than Naturally, tills Is very gralirylng, hut, without egotism, we consider this- 1.0 more than our due. We set out to build a business "n a narrow margin of profit hy supplying to customers for cash what they were in the habit of obtaining credit for. (Cf course ihey paid heavily for the credit, and even those who paid cash obtained scarcely any lienctit, because it was tha regular custom to pay £5 5/ for a suit.) To do 1 his. we had to buj for rasli in large quantities. We needed a large turnover; therefore we opened warehouses In Auckland. Wellington, and Cbrlgtchurch. and plaepd large orders direct with the mills. The question of paying for plateglas-, on the main street was another old fetish of th' credit tailor that met no favour in our eyes. We wanted to bo NEAR the main centre, bnt not In thi front rank. We figured that a man would walk 00 Yards to the warehouse qnn-tnr for the sake of saving monej, and if ho fiere further away, he would spend a penny on a car fare. fio we obtained large well lighted, up-to-date warehouses at a' fraction ot main street rates, ana added this to our fond lor savin; customers' money. Nest came tbe making of tbe suit. We bad the stuff of experienced workers and .utters second to none. We evolved a scientific system of measurement, based on the lines of the perfect hnman figure, which enables us to fit ANYONE In a few minutes, and so save the interminable ■partial try on" and '-altering." Our suits fit like a glove because they are buiit absolutely for the customer's measurements. They cannot do otherwise than fit. Uf many thousands we have sold not one Las been returned, even under our open guarantee of perfect satisfaction or money returned in full. It w 11 be seen that Tbe Crown Clothing Company has studied every point of the business". They aim to save unnecessary expenses, and give the benefit to the customer, and they have succeeded Will every man who reads this come and 6e« the suits and materials we offer in our show windows? Then, will be come inside, and let us further show him our system and the beautiful new season's patterns? If he will do tnis, without the least obligat'on to purchase, he will have satisfied himself that it is to his interest to buy his snits at WHOLESALE prices. Tbe more questions and the closer investigation, the better we like it.
