mT~3r **r> 8 Wa 4 13 9 10 3 w 12 O /606 There s been a lot of talk lately about so-called high grade suits. Most of this talk has been in the nature of an anaesthetic to smooth over the paying- of high prices. So we are avoiding all use of empty phrases and LAYING OUR CARDS ON THE TABLE by making 1 a clear and definite statement of just how Scott-Service Suits are made—a course which so far no other tailor has seen clear to follow. The success of Scott-Service Tailoring is based on quality—our prices have been kept down by strict economy in eliminating unnecessary overhead expense—a proceeding made possible by our large turnover which exceeds 200 suits a week. An example of just how this works out is obtained by contrasting our methods with the average small tailor producing" say six or eight suits A week. In the latter case you have a cutter (it may be the boss), engaged in cutting only part of his time. You have the rent. You have a hundred and one other expenses—all of which have to be spread over the cost of producing six or eight suits. Naturally they cost two or three times as much to produce as a Scott-Service Suit—but it doesn't mean that the customer gets anything more for HIS money. Then, again, there is the advantage of importing in large quantities direct from the Manufacturers in England, Scotland and Ireland. You know what a difference THAT makes. Cards are on the table ! is how Scott-Service Suits made-—where is the Tailor who can better it ? *Vhe numbers conned the descriptive paragraph with the different portions of the Scott-SerOice Suit illustrated hy the drawing J STRONG- HAIRCLOTH which is carefully worked through breast ana shoulders. This •vrith a strong optimo backing is the foundation of the neat "Keepahape" shoulder which is a great feature in all Scott-Service Suits. ' 2 STRONG- "BRIDLE" 'which permanently governs the set of the collar either rolled or pressed flat as desired, thus ensuring the correct hang of the coat front. 3 FINEST ENGLISH OPTIMO extending from top of shoulder to bottom of coat. This gives substance to the front)of the coat and its function is to preserve the shape and absolutely prevent creasing. All Scott-Service Suits have this important feature which plays an important part in our guarantee of satisfaction. 4. STRONG EDGE STAY adopted for an Scott-Service Suits to give a neat, firm edge and prevent curling—an important point in the finish of the coat. £ PADDED LAPELS. The hundreds of stitches placed in a Scott-Servico coat-on either lapel produce a fine firm finish which lasts'as long as the coat itself. c ENGUSH DOUBLE "WARP POCKETING.

No matter what colour your Scott-Service Suit, all the lin- ' ings will match. Only finest English materials are used, the quality and dyes of which are guaranteed. STRONG POCKET STAYS are used throughout the coat. This is an lmportant ture as the stays are required to take the strain off the pocket as much; as possible, ' and thus prevent sagging of the coat. > v.;,; g SHAPED SHOULDERS. Notice the "well sfcaped shoulders which give ft vary mart effect combined with comfort and freedom of movement. Just the correct amount of■':%& padding is tised to give this effect, in accordance with the shape of the shonlden. ; \ strong BUTTON AND BUTTONHOLE STAYS.
