TAILOR-MADE SUITS. ~.. A *• • NOT FACTORY MADE. FROM 555. HOW IT WORKS 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 suits for from 555, winle other tailors have to charge, 4, 5, and 6 guineas for their suits. 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 New Zealand —when we remember that every new and better method, every scientific and up-to-date device has been eagerly seized and turned to good account in the building of this , huge and successful business—wo begin to understand just how different this business is from any other suit business in the Dominion. Where otuer tailors make one suit, Geojge Davies makes twenty. It stands to reason he doesn't need to make quarter the profit they do. Ho 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 profit, than one at a big profit. Again, whero the credit tailor 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 saves you a good part of your £2 in your suit. The rest of it is saved by the small profits as mentioned above, and by the exceptional buying facilities which are possible only to a firm of such size. Where other tailors buy suit lengths, Mr Davies buys pieces, He buys direct from the manufacturers in huge quantities, and of 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 saving of £2 on the George Davies suits. Now, about tho suits themselves. Your £2 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 the making—so you have <-.ie genuine tailor-made suit for 55s instead of 955, the three-guinea suit instead oi th-3 five-guinea, and the four-guinea suit instead of the six-guinea. These suits on which you save £2 or more, are not only genuine tailor-made suits made in Mr Davies' own workrooms, but they represent the very highest perfection of modern tailoring—all the newest tailoring ideas —all tho finest cutting art (the best English cutters employed)—all the care and honest work which is necessary to make good suits goes into them, and so convinced is Mr Davies that he can save you __2, and yet at the same time make you an absolutely satisfactory and distinctive suit, that he gives you a written guarantee to refund you your money m full,----4f you're not satisfied. Could anything be" fairer or more completely to your advantage? A magnificent range of best quality, newest style suitings awaits your selection at George Davies shop, 184 Colombo street, next Steoi s, and opposite Kincaid's. Gentlemen are now booking orders for the Christmas holidays, and even though you may not require your suit for some weeks yet, you will be wise to book your order now. C4wiS
