WHO GETS YOUR MONEY.

YOU OR THE OTHER FELLOW?

READ THIS: IT AVILL SAVE YOU

For a long tin*? now the credit tailors have been charging tho mon of t-hds town 5 and 6 guineas for their suits— they've ha<l to do it—they really can't do it for less. They have the writer's sympathy. .But when it comes to i matter of business, sympathy isn't what's wan>ted—sympathy for wrong methods of conducting business —sympathy for antiquated systems of manufacturing, doesn't do anybody any good. The only way to lielp people—-to help the pubHc—to h-eilp you in the matter, is to get in and ma.ke tilings different— to do things right, and that's just what I've done. 1 ye made it possible for you to got a suit made to vmir measure for £2 10s. £2 los, £3 3s. £3 ss, £3 10s, or £3 15s, that is at least as good, and probably better, than tho suits, you've always had to pay the credit tniiar 5 and 6 guineas for. It's eamply by having my garments cut by the highest skilled cutters in the country, niado by expert workers on modern linos, and the enormous quantity of suite made per week, that* I can show you such a saving on such a high-grade suit. Where the old-style tailors make one su ; t, I make at least 20 (I have big braaiches in Dunedin, Invercargiil. Tiimaru, Wellington, Wanganm, nnd Pα]menston North, and. in addition do business all over the country by mail. I'd sooner have my profit, small though it be, on ten suits, wihich I supply at from £2 10s upwards, than charge £5 for my suits, and omly do one where I do ton. I'd have to give credit t<o get the £5 for my suits, and I know that the money I lost on doing it wouldn't bo any good to mc nor to the- public. No. I'm content to work on a very small margin of profit on each individual suit; I know in the end I'll make moro money than the- 5 arid c guinea men, because I'll save the public money and serve them well. I'll do tho biggest businjess in the country. A> a matter of fact, I'm doing it now. Men are too level-headed to go on paying nrortey —that's the men who do pay —whr.n it isn't necessary. . The only fellows that'll find it necessary in the future to pay 5 and G pounds for their suits, will be tho chaps that don't pay anything at all; and the more of these fellows who patronise the expensive tailors, tho more you'd have to pay those tailors were you to patronise them, because they have to charge you in the price of their suits for follows who never pay for what they get; and there's a whole lot of them risht here in this town. They've been living on you in the past. Cut them in tho future. Refuse to pay for what they get. Pay for what you r.ot. nothing more—you'll do this when you piaco your order here. My oddrrss is: —

1« 1-1 SB'Colombo street, opposite Kineaid's. Don't mako tho iii!>-.u-.ko or wandering into any of my numerous imitators in diffcro-nt parts of the city. You'll bo sorry if yon do My suite to measure at £2 10s, £2 15k. £3 3s, £3 10s, .and' £3 los arc altogether different—bettor than anything else you can have made anywhere else in the. Dominion, in stylo, cut. and finish and quality of material. I give you a •written guarantee to please yon or refund your money in full. That's my straight-out, fair, and honest proposition ; and I want you to come in and place your order now for Easter, even though you may not want your Buit for a week or two yet, for I don't want to disappoint a single customer on delivery. It's better to place your order a week too early than a day too lato. Do it now. The nearest and best suctings made await your inspection today,. (Advt.)
