A well-known busihess man walked into one of the large* city branches of George' Davies Ltd., "The Modern; Tailors," a few days ago, andj asked to see the Manager. Ho had with him two suits, which he asked the Manager to inspect. " I have noticed,"' he said, " that, you claim toi save men £2 on a genuine, tailor-made suit for cash. I did not believe this could bes done in fact, I was prejudiced against your firm, tMnkingyoui were cheap tailors, making inferior suits. But one day it struck mc in reading your ad. that you wouldn't make such, a genuine guarantee offer unless there was something in it, so I decided to take you at your word and order a suit under your guarantee. Now, look at these two suits. One was made by one of the most fashionable /tailors in New Zealand, at a cost of £612/6, the cither one was made by you, and cost mc £3/12/6, Your suit is equal in. material, cut, and fit, and superior in finish. I am satisfied that your claim to save -62 is modest, and you can depend on my future custom*" This" is but one of the thousands of the testimonials received by this modem firm of cash tailors, and, though unique and almost incredible, it is vouched for as an absolute fact. The local branch address is: George Davies Ltd., "The Modern Tailors," 706 Colombo Street (Next Steel's and opposite Kincaid's). C_iistchurch-
