PETER'S CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN. RUDDIGORE—No. I've never heard a red-headed man called a fool, and 1 have no ambition to be the first to do so. The colour of his hair should not influence his ability to cut a decent suit. However, why worry > I'll make you the smartest suit you've ever worn for a Fiver. INQUIRER —You confu.e the issues. I do not advertise "made-to-measure" suits— I advertise suits- Tailor-made to order for a Fiver. The difference is this: The law allows anyone—whether he be a Butcher, Baker, or Candlestickmaker —to sell suits **co measure," but a Tailor-made to order suit must be made in the Tailor's own workroom under the conditions laid clown in the Tailoring Award. And there you have it I Let mc measure you for one of mine on Monday—it'll coat you a Fiver and it'll be the best investment you've made for many a day. WAGER—WeII, m'lad, I'm ready to wager you that I've made three times as many suits as the next biggest tailor in Auckland during the past two years. I'm glad you're pleased with the one I made you pass the good news on —I want to suit all your friends, too. TRADES UNIONIST—No, I employ no cheap labour. Henry Ford and 1 discovered that cheap labour was too expensive. We both pay the highest wages and in return get the best service. My Fiver suits are the result of the application of scientific methods in my buying, cutting, making, and sales organisation. SOCCER —Yes, the Chinese footballers do wear smart clothes 1 have a brother tailoring in Canton, which probably accounts for it. But he's making more money than I, he gets 50 dollars for the same suits that I sell for a Fiver. INDIGO—Fox Brothers guarantee the dye of every suit length of their famous serge, and I'll guarantee to-make it up into the smartest suit you could wish for—and it'll cost you a Fiver!
