FACTS FOR MEN! SOMETHING IT "pAYS TO KNOW ABOUT HIGH-CLASS SUITS. EXORBSTAOT PRICES BEING CHARGED. EVERY man \*ho studies his appear--ance and his pocket will find the folk>wing inside facts about the tailoring business both interesting and profitable. As every man knew to his sorrow until Tccently, it was necessary in New Zealand to pay four, fi\ c, or six guineas to the usual old-style tailor for a suit, made to measure. While these prices are exorbitant, let it not bo understood that the poor unfortunate credit tailor does not make a tremendous profit for himself, even when securing these high prices. Tho trouble is that he does nor. get paid for quite a lot of tho suits he makes, making tremendous losses in bad debts, and then his method of manufacture is antiquated, costly, and by no means altogether satisfactory in results. Now the intelligent reader of this article will readily soe that by eliminating bad debts altogether, and doing business on a strictly cash basis, also by eliminating the antiquated methods in vogue in the tailoring trade for so many years past and adopting the modern la-bour-saving devices in tho making of men's garment? to measure as now adopted in England, not only could better garments be produced, but a \ery considerable saving in the price of such garments to the public be effected. It was recognising these facts that led Mr. George_ Dstvies, the well - known suit specialist, to open business on modern lines, and undertake to make suits to measure for gentlemen at. from £2 10s to £3 15s, which would be at least the equal in fit, style, finish, and quality of material of the suits being charged four, fi\o, and six guineas for elsewhere. The result of this enterprise is that to-day men in every town in New Zealand where Mr. Davies has opened up branch establishments aro saving £2 on the price of their suits made to measure, and in addition are securing a style and satisfaction in these garments seldom, if over, procurable before, no matter how high tho* price paid. Just now this firm is sho.wing some exceptionally high quality fashionable materials, just lauded direct from the best British and colonial mills. The address of the Wellington branches are 56, Willis-street (between Evening Post and Grand Hotel), and 134, Cuba-street, and it is certainly ■worth evory man's while who appreciates style and quality, fit and finish, and the saving of £2 in the price of his suit, to inspect tho window display now being made at this establishment. Tho fulled investigation is invited by this firm, and every cAiirtesry in submitting samples and prices will be extended to e\ory interested inquirer.

AND IHE SALESMAN DID IT. FRAGRA has been' the greatest success of modern times in tea — and there's a. big rea&on. It's ihi= : Until now tea, merchants have grow n fat on the tea business — they've seen oig piofits in it — and they've had their found of flesh. Now, we've been experimenting with tea for a considerable time — trying to get a bettor tea than others. We managed to get the tea all right, b'il the price held us vp — tho tea was 100 good. We were right up against it — didn't know what lo do, in fact — and yft our salesman helped us out. That salesman started the policy of "Fragra." He's responsible for Fragra having the enormous sales it ha* 10-day. He asked, if Fragra was so 'good, wasn't it good enough to guarantee? We thought it, was. Then, if it's good enough to guarantee, it's going to be a big seller. If it's a big seller you can sell it cheaper, and still makr a fair profit. Now, that's ■just what we've clone. We've offered a better quality toa at a less price — and that how Fragra is the great tea it is. We're going to keep it good. Try a packet — you take no ri«k : if vim don't find it the best you've had, return it to yo'ir grocer — he will refund your money. All reputable grocers stock it.
