TAILORING TRADE DUMBFOUNDED.

« GEORGE DAVIES SAVES YOU £2 ON YOUR SUIT TO ORDER. A better and more excellent way That's what EVERY MAN who has had a suit to order from m© has said in effect. I am making friends all over the Dominion among the men-folk by my new system of tailoring. Where local residents depended more or less upon the uncertain abilities of their local tailors they are now able to get an up-to-date' suit of certain correctness in fit and material AT LEAST 40 SHILLINGS LESS THAN THE SMALL TAILOR ASKED. 4 That's because of my unique organisation. I am tho first tailor to step out of the ranks and acknowledge that tailoring prices are laden up with bad debts in every tailor's cose, that if all would pay cash for their suits, the tailors could charge, well, say, 30 PER CENT. LESS for Suits to Order. But YOU pay for YOUR suit just that amount more than the actual value YOU receive, because YOU must bear YOUR share of th© "bad marks" debts. But I've a different proposition. Let us get together. My suits to order range in price from 55s up—suite that are built to your measure with all the care that conscientious cutters and tailors aro capable of. Cut from precisely the sam© fabrics, both local and Home productions, as the merchant tailors in the shops of this town are asking 95s and 100s for. But I ask you to pay cash —my business is on a cash basis entirely. Most likely you are doing that at present—well, I can save you two pounds on your next suit to order. I ask you to pay cash because the money- being sure I can put the last penny possible in suit-value. I ask you to pay cash because I pay it myself—on the nail—to the mills and my Union-award employees. I ask you to pay cash because my profit is so small on each suit that I couldn't give you the benefit of the Davies High-grade Tailoring system at so small a price if tbe transaction wasn't closed at once and the money in hand. Remember, my business is right in your midst. You can call and see the magnificent materials—rolls and rolls of them—that I offer for your selection. This is no mail-order offer that I make. Remember, too, tbat 1 guarantee suit-jx-rfeetion, no matter what price you pay. And not a verbal or elusive guarantee either. A Printed Guarantee over my signature that the suit's got to fit you or you need not pay, and if a deposit has been put down it shall be refunded. Nothing more is possible on my part. This offer should appeal to any man shrewd enough to see the sincerity of my methods. In case you cannot call, write to George Davies, Suit Specialist, to send you patterns of 1910 Suitings, selfmeasurement forms, and my two publications, "How to Save Two Sovereigns on Your Next Made-to-Measur& Suit" and "What Men Say About My Suits After They Have Worn Them." The whole lot won't cost you a penny or place you under any obligation whatever. GEORGE DAVIES, Tho Modern Tailor, 184 Colombo street, opposite Kincaid's and next to Steel's. C 4799-1
