In summer, when the hai is out, A good catch is the ball; Well stopped! we hear the people shout; Well stopped! cry one and ell. In winter, when bleak winds endure, A bad catch is a cold; Well stopped I with Woods' Great Peppermint Cure I Well stopped! cry young and old. 1

LORD CHESTERFIELD SAID : " Dress for the occasion, then dismiss all thoughts of your attire from your mind." But you can't do this with all garments. Many Suits have a habit of unpleasantly asserting themselves. But a George Davies suit to order is so unmistakably YOUR garment—so undeniably individual and becoming—so perfect in fit all over that you instinctively feel that your apparel is beyond criticism. Let mc make you one Winter Suit as a trial on approval. If it'isn't right—if it doesn't please you—don't accept it. If it does—pay for it when I deliver the suit home. But pay _2 less than you'd pay to the credit tailor, and get as good material—as good cut and designing—and as good workmanship as the high-price tailor would give you. If you don't—you don't pay mc. That's all. You may say, " I seem confident." I am. The hundreds of letters I receive each month from men whom I've finished suits for. makes mc so. Ift no case will I leave room for disappointment. The fact that I'm paid cash for my work relieves mc of all the worry as far as the finances are concerned. So I can give my whole-hearted, clearbrained attention to the making of Suits. Also CASH is the reason that you can save at least {2 when you order your Suit from George Davies. The credit tailor " pooh-poohs" ray statements, but he doesn't advance any proof against them—because it is a natural impossibility to do so. If the proof of tlie pudding is in the eating—then the proof of my tailoring is n the wearing. I know I employ the cleverest Suit Cutters in the Dominion. I believe my tailoring staff cannot be excelled. This combination has been gathered around mc because materials are of secondary importance;—the very- life of a suit depends upon the way it is cut, stitched, and finished free from strains at the seams, and perfectly firm in the front of the coat. By ensuring you that, I am able to give unquestionably the biggest Suit value in the Dominion. This service is accompanied by my printed guarantee, a guarantee that no other tailor in the Dominion cares to duplicate. I promise to make you a well-fitting Suit of the latest materials in this season's style, silk mixture lined, worked entirely by Union labour at any price you choose from 55/- up, and to please you. If I don't—then you don't pay mc. That's a fair proposition—a good one for you. Take advantage of it ? 55/-, 63/-, 75/- for my genuine tailormade Suits to order. Patterns will be sent free if you cannot call. GEORGE DAV.ES "THE MODERN TAILOR." IS2 & 184 COLOMBO STREET. (Next Steel's, & opposite Kincaid _). CHRISTCHURCH.
