* THE DEVIL AMONG ' j THE TAILORS : | He hailed from N'Yawk—where they dress I : well. Strolling into my Big Strand Tailory he took in a good eyeful, and started off?, ''Boy, I'll say you carry SOME stock — but can you make it up right —can you build mc an-honest-to-goodness Fifth | Avenue Suit?'' i , I said I could, and ran the tape over him. j| t He wasn't exactly a conventional figure I —having a grade of one in four on the I shoulders, and being somewhat convex £ about the knees. He was rather sceptical about my ability to make him look smart, but when he tried on the finished suit he said, ''Brother, I you're a Devil of a Good Tailor,'' and 1 he placed an order for four more suits to take ' 'back home .' ' : No matter how you're built I can make f a suit that you'll be proud to wear—and my prices are no higher than you've been ':; paying for ordinary tailor-made clothes s Corner Strand Arcade <j&-19taa£ and Queen Street. % : •»■ §£ | *M Entire Sample | Ladies' and Gentlemen's = & 600 Pairs Below I if HALF PRICE) tj AT ADAMS' GIANT I f| SUMMER SALE | = Purchased at a nominal figure from a leading New Zealand House, E - E this 600 range of samples comprises a wonderful variety of Ladies' E £-5 and Gent's everyday walking Shoes.
