THE COST OF LIVING

BIG DROP IN THE PRICE OF MADE-TO-MEASURE SUITS

Of late years wage-earners haVe been more and more put to it to make '"both ends meet." Despite the frequent increases in wages, houee-rcnts and almost everything else have experienced a corresponding advance, with the result, that most people find themselves little bettor off' for their increased earnings. ' It is therefore gratifying to learn of" one much-wanted.line, that . ot only ha& not advanced in price, bnt on the" contrary, has decreased very materially, v'\7.., the production of made-to-uieaauro suite. .... . , . This has been made possible by the adoption of modern methods, and it is gratifying to learn U:at tho pioneers ot tho system in old-e»bablisbe-J Cliristchurch firm, 'Mcesrs - Tribe and Co., who introduced,thcee 20th century methods some ton years- a&o. As doubtless many of the readers of iliis paper wjll be intereeted in learning how Triba and Co. are enabled to e«U xuits lnade-to-measut-e from- 455, when everything else is advancing in price, ".ve will briefly describe the system hero.

ou see, most tsiitom are'kept really bus? only in the Spring and Autumn; That, moans their hands are often ialo tor weeks at a time. They have gotta .my those hands. But they are not in the charity business, so tho cost of keeping their hands in slack times is nassed on to their customers. It has to be. Yon have to stand a portion of it in the cost of every suit you bnv frnrn •» sruall tailor.Tribp mid Co. sew that if they could :nak> spveral suits where littlo* tailors made ono. they could.sell them at about half their price. With characteristic enterprise they set abtfut doing it, relying, of course, upon .a small profit on the larper turnover, rather than on a bijr profit on a few' suite. But, one. might ae.k, making the number of suite they do, can they give same satisfaction? Vi«. they can, and do; for every quit nnc* out with a. cast-iron guarantee thot if it is not satisfactory as to fit, style, and wear, they take n back and refund the customer's money. He has exactly the'same privileges as when »>uyjns from a high-priced tailor, and for appcorancy* and etylo the suit will usually be taken for an ordinary tailor's high-priced suit. In addition to their big local suit trade. Tril.o and Co. have supplied lundreds of these suits by mail to men wi all p«rts of the colony. The firm hfls never eoen these customer* personally, but they claim, and with good reason, that no one can give better v-aliip ln materiel. lining, quiltinjr anu finmbins generally. That iswhy they can afford to take the wide risk theY do < t l makmg Eureka Suite to order frow
