TAILOR-MADE SUITS.

NOT FACTORY MADE. FROM 555. .

HOW IT WORKB OUT. To those who do not know the facts, and who have not thought the matter out, it may seem remarkable that one tailor should be able to make genuine tailor-made suite for from sos,_wnile other tailors have to charge, 4, 5, and 6 guineas for their euits. But when we come to think it over—when we consider the big saving that George Davies, "The Modern Tailor," makes by trading on strictly cash principles —-when we think of the tremendous suit business he does in his forty branches right through KTew Zealand—when we remem- ! Iwr that every now and better method, I every scientific and up-to-date devke has been eagerly seized and turned to good account in the building of this huge and successful business—we begin to understand just how different thus business is from any other suit busi- ' noss in the Dominion. Where otuer ailors make one suit, Geojge Davies makes twenty. It stands to reason he doesn't need to make quarter the profit they do. He has his numbers to make up for the lack of big profit on the individual suit, and it pays him better to make twenty suits at a small pront, than one at a big profit. Again, where the credit taibr loses a- heavy percentage of his accounts in bad debts, George Davies loses nothing. Every suit is paid for when received —That's the rule in the George Davies business, and it's that fact which eaves you a good part of your £2 in your suit. The rest of it ie saved by the small profits as mentioned above, and by the exceptional buying facilities which are possible only to ft firm of such siae. Where other tailors buy euit lengths. Mr Daviee buys pieces, He buys direct from the manufacturers in huge quantities, and qf course, he gets his tweeds and suitings much cheaper than the tailors in,a small ■way could possibly do. So much for business methods, which explain the saying of £2 on the George Davies suits. Now, about the suits themselves. Your £54 having already been saved through the advantages gained by the above-men-tioned methods, it is,' altogether unnecessary for any saving to be taken out of th« making.—so you have «ie genuine tailor-made suit for 55s instead of 955, the three-guinea suit instead oi th-i five-gujnea, and the four-guine* suit instead of the six-guinea. s Theee suite on which you save £2 or more, are not only genuine tailor-made suits made in Mr Da vies' own workrooms, but they represent the very highest perfection of modern tailoring—all the newest tailoring ideas —all the finest cutting art (the best English cutters employed)—«ll the care and honest work which is necessary to make good suite goe* into them, and so convinced is Mr Da-vies that he can save you £2, and yet at the same time make you an absolutely * satisfactory and distinctive euit, that he gives you a written guarantee to refund you your money in full, if you're not satisfied. Could anything be fairer "or mor* completely to your advantage? A magnificent range of beet quality, newest style suitings awaits your selection at George Davies , shop, 184 Colombo street, next Steel's, and oppoeite Kincaid's. Gentlemen are now booking orders for the Christmas holidays-, and even though you may not require your suit for tome week* yet, you will be wise to book your order now* C46t>3
