THINGS MEN SHOULD KNOW. INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THEMAKING OF SUITS TO MEASURE. HOW TO SAVE MONEY, BUT AVOID DECEPTION. SECURE THE BEST GARMENTS MADE. EVERY man who formerly had to pay four, five, or six guineas to have asatisfactory suit made to his measure, and who has since taken advantage of the modern methods adopted by a now wellknown firm of suit- specialists, knows that there is no longer any need to pay the above exorbitant prices to secure complete satisfaction in every respect. The wonderful success aiid the rapid growth of the business , conducted by Mr. George Dayies in this 1 'and also at every other principal centres throughout New Zealand, is sufficient proof that racn wero tired of paying the old-style credit tailors to cover their bad debts, and the costly antiquated methods" they adopt in manufacture. Just as is the case, however, whero any great success is achieved as the result of an honest, . intelligent effort to servo tho public well, a hoso of would-bo imitators have put in an appearance attempting to deceive the public, and it ib against these imitators wo would specially warn dur readers. You will find this kind of thing mostly among drapers and -clothiers, who handle ready-mado clothing, mercery, and sometimes almost every conceivable article worn by men, women, and children. These firms advertise suits as low in price as those produced by George Davies, iniomo cases lower, and when they have taken your measurements they send your suit out to somy factory, whero ready-made slop suits are made, and all sorts of garments of a cheaper kind. Tho result i« that you will certainly have a suit mad* to your measure by these various firms, but what sort of a suit, is it? -"It is necessarily bimijar to the ready-made slops which a-rc made every day in these factories for customers who cannot afford to pa.j r oven moderate prices for their suits. How different when you place your order with George Da\ies. Your suit i& cut by an expert cutter of the highest skill, mado in Mr. Davies' own workroom under careful supervision, tho highest quality Italian cloth and haircloth is used in tho making of garments, and every little poiut m tho making receives special care m your interests. Yet although tho suits mado by j a " es aro the equal of any suits made in New Zealand, at any price, no matter how high, they cost you but a triflo mor* than a suit which you c*n have slop-made to your measure at almost any drapery, mercery, oc ready-made clothing establishments in tho town. Some superb materials just landed direct from the world's best manufacturers, as woll as from tho colonial mills, are now shown for the winter season. Your inspection is cordially invited. The Wellington addresses aro 56, Willis-street (botweon Evenjri* Post and Grand Hotel), and 136> Oubastreo't.
