THINGS MEN SHOULD KNOW. INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE MAKING OF SUITS TO MEASURE. HOW TO SAVE MONEY,BUT AVOID DECEPTION.

SECURE THK BEST GARMENTS MADE. EVERY man who formerly had to pay four, five, or six guineas to have a, satisfactory suit made to his measure, and who has since taken advantage ot the modern methods adopted by a now well, known 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 Euccets and the rapid growth of tho business conducted by Air. George D»vie» in this and also at every other principal contro throughout New Zealand, is sufficient proof that men were tired of paying the old-style credit tailors to cover their bad debts, and the costly ' antiquated methods they adopt in manufacture. Jueb as is the case, however, whore any great success is achieved as the result of aa honest, intelligent effort to serve the pub- | lie well, a host of would-be imitators have j put in an appearance attempting to deceive the public, and it is against thesa imitators wo would specially wain our readers. You will find this kind of 'thins mostly among drapers and clothiers, who handlo ready-made clothing, meicery, aud sometimes 'inmost every conceivable "article worn by men, women, and children. These firms ad\ertit-c huits as low in price as thoho produced by George Davies, in'tome cases lower, and when they have taken your measurements they tend your bu:fc out to Foino facloiy, where ready-mado slop suits> are made, and all sorts of garmrntb of a cheaper kind The re&ull is that you will certainly have a suit made to your measure i by these various firms, but what hovt of a tuifc is it? It is necesbarily similar to the ready-made slops wluoh art- made every day m iheso factorn'b for customers who cannot afford to pay even moderate prices for their suits. How different, when you place your oVdcr with Gi>or;re Dalies. Your suit is cut by an expert cutter of the highpst skill, made m* Mr. Duv'es' own workroom under careful siiperwFion, iho highlit quality Italian cloth and haircloth is v.fod in tho making of garments, and every little point in tha making receives -special care in your interests. Yet although the suits, made by Mr. Davies are the equal of any £ui(s made in New Zealand, at any price, no matter how high, they cost you but a triflo more than a suit which you can havo plop-made to your measure at almost any drapery, memory, or read} made clothing- establishments in the town* Some superb materials just landed direct from tho world's best manufacturer*, as well as from the colonial milk, are now shown for the wintqr season.
