For 7 days only To Celebrate the opening of our New Shop in the "Rendezvous 99 Building We have now opened a new shop in the Rendezvous Building, and to celebrate this further extension of Scott-Service premises we are making this Special Offer of Suit and Extra Trousers Tailored-to-Measure FOR SEVEN DAYS ONLY. Our New Shop will prove a real service to the men of Christchurch, as its windows will provide the means for easily inspecting the many choice weaves that make up our stock of Suitings. While we regret that our New Shop front is so small, it must be? remembered that large downstair premises are very expensive, and the extra rent would have to be passed on to our clients. As we faithfully maintain the principle of half-a-crown per suit profit, we are neither justified nor prepared to pay high rents. With the rapid approach of Xmas—and the congestion in tailoring which accompanies it—we are confident that this Celebration Suit Offer, with Extra Trousers, for 79/6 will induce many men to place the Xmas Suit order right away. Unfortunately, we had to disappoint hundreds last year because the demand for Scott-Service Suits exceeded the resources of even our large organisation. None of those men would have been disappointed had they placed their orders a few weeks earlier. And the same conditions will prevail this year. Don't be one of the disappointed—take advantage of this Special Offer and be measured for your Xmas Suit right away. Suit & Extra Trousers Free For Seven days only m^' 10 We are selling Suits at this price, with Extra Trousers Free, in our Showrooms in addition to our New Shop. An £B,OOO Stock of Suitings to select from At present we have in our Showroom (opposite the Rendezvous) an £B,OOO stock of the verynewest English, Scotch, and Colonial Suitings. Needless to say this provides a selection far above anything anywhere else in the Dominion, and enables you to choose a Cloth that exactly fits your ideas in colour, pattern, weight, and quality. Probable increase in suit prices Further advances in the prices of Suitings are inevitable—and it is doubtful if Suit prices will ever be as low again as they are to-day. In the next column we reprint an extract from "The (Press," dealing with the latest increases in the prices of wool. In a very short while these increases will be reflected in the cost of materials and, in turn, in the price of Suits. Why not take advantage of the opportunity offered to-day and order your Xmas Suit right away? WOOL SALE. OPENS AT WELLINGTON. PHENOMENAL ADVANCE. DETAILS OF ADVANCE. (special to "the press.")
