TAILORING CONTROVERSY

TIME FOR SOFT WORDS PAST. ONE FIRM TAKES ACTION. Nobody can but be conscious that much of the present tailoring controversy and attempts to define a tailor-made suit is only "eye-wash " and an "anaesthetic" administered to ease the pain of paying the high prices asked in some quartans. The association of the word "machine" with the making of a; suit llse<i contempt—BUT UNJTTBTLY SO. Even "iourteen-gmnea-Suit-Advocates" now say that a certain amount of machine work must enter into the making of a tailor-made stut I So the "grudge" boils itself down to a wrangle over what a tailor should charge, and wa are confident in saying that, if we* charged ten, twelve or fourteen guineas for our suit® so much criticism would not be levelled at us by "interested" parties. As we have stated befois, we look toVOLUME and proht, instead of relying on a biz profit on each suit.

Facte remain facts-W if you want a good suit, tailored to measure, without having to pay a "fancy" price you must still look to the Scott-Serried Tailoring; Co., Ltd., for-it. Furthermore, to end this idle controversy we are taking the drastic step of increasing the lange of materials for our Challenge Offer of Suits Tailored-to-Measure at«6os. Talk is cheap—inspect our ndw suitings—then judge for yourseli. We are confident that your verdict will be similar to that »f hundreds of other level-headed men who support our efforts, to keep,, down the piiee of good suits.
