Thank Goodness! Stone Age Methods won't do to-day .. • In the days when it was "la mode'' for both men and women to wear tiger skins and the "flint axe" had not been replaced by the Golf Club, the question of clothes was just as important as to-day ... but both garments and methods of acquisition were then very different. # • In the "stone age" days, when Mrs Stoneaxe felt the "urge" to improve her raiment, she cajoled Mr Stoneaxe to go and knock another tiger in order that she might wear the skin. She either got her new gown ... . or else she had to hunt up a new husband . . . in the latter eventuality, Mr Stoneaxe permanently lost all further interest in his clothes. But haven't we the same "Urge" now as then ? • The good, healthy desire to be well dressed pertains to-day even as in the earliest times, but methods are different. • TO-DAY—people in Christchurch recognise that the Taylor Dry Gleaning and Pressing Service gives them the same advantages as are enjoyed by residents in the largest cities of Europe and America. • To-day both husband and wife satisfy their desire for smart clothing without effort and at trifling cost . . . and without risk by utilising the Taylor Service. Both HIS suit and HER frock and their overcoats go to Taylor's regularly and are returned to their home with every spot and stain removed . . . every wrinkle and mark of wear disappeared . . . and with all the original smart appearance restored . . . and the cost is but five shillings ... or if you live out of Christchurch, a slight additional charge is incurred to cover packing and postage. BE SURE you are not following "Stone Age" practices to-day ... you may not be risking all in getting the skin o£ a tiger, but you may be losing a lot o£ money buying new clothes when it is only necessary to spend a few shillings and have your present ones cleaned and pressed by Taylor's. DON'T RUN RISKS—"You Can Always Depend on Taylor's" . . . 'Phone 31-820 . . . Taylor's will do the Rest.
