ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 1 One of the Grandest Characters in Modern History, said : — ■ || You can fool some of the people some of the time, • H | You can fool all the people some of the time, §j " But you cannot fool all the people all the time." If Now, for a long time past, certain individuals have been trying to fool H the public into the belief that it is necessary to pay four five or six 9 guineas for a suit made-to-measure, and that it would be impossible for tf the public to obtain a suit made-to-measure that would give complete H satisfaction in every respect, for a very substantial sum less than these H prices. Eg But Abraham Lincoln was right when he said, "You cannot fool all the 8 people all the time." Sometime ago, I saw this— l saw that the people H who paid cash for their suits had to pay for those who never paid by Q , trading with the ordinary tailors who give credit, and necessarily made H many bad debts— l saw that old style methods were adopted in the work- fg rooms, which were both costly and unsatisfactory in results as shown in fl the finished garments which were being worn, and which would in no way B compare in the finer points with garments being made in London for little | more than half the prices. Just two years ago I started to make '9 SUITS-TO-MEASUHE I From £2/5/- to £3/15/-, instead of four, five and six gns. fl I cut out all losses on bad debts by doing a purely cash business in fl giving credit to no one whomsoever. I adopted the very best and latest 9 methods in manufacture, and my suits have given such satisfaction to fl men everywhere, that to-day lam doing the biggest suit business in the fl Dominion. I have already thirteen branches throughout New Zealand, fl in all the principal cities and towns, and every week my business is in- fl creasing, which proves conclusively that my patrons are completely I satisfied with the splendid garments I produce,, and delighted with the fl money I save them on high-grade suits made-to-measure. fl I want every man to understand that my method of doing business is fl altogether different from the methods adopted by my numerous would-be S imitators, and that consequently,' when you place your order for a suit-to- fl measure at my establishment, you get garments that are made to your fl measure in tho best possible way, the very best garments it is possible fl to procure, no matter how high the price you "pay 1 — garments that are B altogether different from anything else advertised in Wellington at similar ja "prices to my own. Further, I will prove every word I say in this adver- n ment by giving you a written guarantee when you order your suit, that 9 should it not fit perfectly and give you complete satisfaction in every way fl when completed, I will refund the whole of your money in full without fl the slightest hesitation. It's a fair business-like offer that must appeal H to every sound, solid-thinking man in Wellington. I stand back of my I word. I prove everything I say. All I ask is an opportunity. The New D Season's Suitings, a beautiful range of the very latest in all-wool Colonial H Tweeds and Worsteds, as well as the latest from England, Scotland and fl Ireland, await your inspection now. fl NOTE MY ADDRESS- | CrEOHGE HAYIES, f 56, WILLIS STREET - • WELLINGTON. 1 BETWEEN EVENING POST AND GRAND HOTEL. fl
