PUBLIC NOTICES. AS"Si ABRAHAM LINCOLN, on 6 of tli© Grandest Characters in Modem History ? said! “ Yon can fool some of the people all of the time, ‘Yon can fool ail of the people some of the time, 1 But yon cannot fool all the people all the time.” Now, for a long time past, certain individuals have been trying to tool the public into the belief that it is necessary to pay four five, or six gnmeas for a suit made to measure, and that it -would’ be impossible for the public to obtain a suit made to measure that would give complete satisfaction in every respect for a very substantial sum less than these prices. y as rcgfrk when he said “ Yon cannot fool all the people all the time, 5 -’ Some time ago I saw this I saw that the people who paid cash for their suits had to pay for those who never paid by trading with the ordinary tailors who give credit, and necessarily made many bad saw that oldstyle methods were adopted in the work rooms, which were both costly and unsatisfactory in results, as shown in the finished garments which were being worn, and which would in no wav compare in the finer points with garments being made in London for a little more than half the prices. Jnst two years ago , I started to make SUITS-TO-MEASURE From £2 5s lo £3 15s, instead of Four, Five, and Six Guineas. I _ cut all losses on bad debts by doing a purely cash business in giving credit to no one whomsoever. I adopted the very best and latest methods in manufacture, and my suits have given such satisfaction to men everywhere that ‘to-day I am doing the biggest snit business in the Dominion. I have already thirteen branches throughout New Zealand, in all the principal cities and towns, and every week my business is increasing, which proves conclusively that my patrons are completely satisfied with the splendid garments L produce, and delighted with the money I save them on high-grade suits made to measure. I want every man to understand that my method of doing business is. altogether different from the methods adopted bv mv numerous would-be imitators, and that consequently, when you place ycur order for a suit to measure at my establishment, you get garments that are made to your measure in the best possible way, the very best garments it is ossihle to procure, no matter how high the pnce you pay—garments that are altogether different from anything else advertised in Dnnedin at Similar prices to my own Further, I will prove every word I say in this advertisement by giving you a written guarantee when vou order your suit that should it not fit perfectly and give you complete satisfaction in every way when completed, I will refund the whole of your money in fnll without the slightest hesitation It s a fair businesslike offer that must appeal to every sound solid, thinking man in Dunedin. I stand back of my word. i prove everything I say. All I ask is an opportunity. The New Season s Suitings, a beautiful range of the very latest in All-wool Colomal Tweeds and Worsteds, as well as the latest from tingiand, bcotland, and Ireland, await your inspection now.
