PUBLIC NOTICES. DIFFERENCE IN SUITS. HOW MEN ARE MISLED. There are three kinds of suits made to measure. First, there’s the kind the “ credit tailor ” charges four, five, and six guineas for. Then there’s the kind which are sent to slop factories to be made, and on which a big profit is made; they’re sold most'y by drapers, mercers, and storekeepers, and small suit shops. Then, again, there is the other kind. They’re simikr'to the four, five, and six-guinea tailor’s, except in price. Mine are about £2 less. Further on I’ll show you why I can save you money. You will find it’s not by taking it out of tire suit—it’s by saving money myself. Now since I’ve brought the prices of suits down throughout the Dominion a host of imitators have sprung up. They're people who give credit. They profess to make suits at the same price as mine—and so they do, but it’s only the price that’s similar. They can’t save money on their production, so to do you a suit at the price they send it to a slop factory, where shirts, and dungarees, and things are made. These kind of suits can neither keep their shape nor look well either. Now my suits, although about the same price as those of my imitators, are as different to them as chalk and cheese—and there’s a big difference between cheese and chalk. My suits are not sent to a slop factory. They’re made in my own work rooms, made by experts who specialise on the making of my suits, specialise in putting character, style, individuality, and comfort into every suit turned out. These suits are made from similar materials to what four, five, and six guineas are being charged for in this town, but I don’t charge you these prices. My prices start at 50s, and leave off at 755. The reason I can save you the money is because I can save it myself. I’ve my own warehouse; I buy direct from the mills';, I make a hundred suits where the ordinary tailor makes one. I sell for cash only, so you don’t have to pay for the man who doesn’t. The individual profit I make on. a single suit would keep the ordinary tailor in shoe leather, but a small profit on a hundred suits means a fair profit for me and a big saving to you. There’s only the best English and colonial all-wool tweeds used in the making of my suits, and they’re cut with individuality and style. I know so well that I can please you that I give a written guarantee to give you every satisfaction or refund your money in full. Men in all positions of life, lawyers, medical men, commercial men, clergymen, etc., are wearing my suits to their entire satisfaction now. I’ve a stream of testimonials coming in by every mail. Some of these are put in a little booklet entitled ‘ What Men Say about my Suits after They’ve Worn Them.’ I would like you to read it. A copy of it can be had at any of my branches in the Dominion, and it doesn’t cost anything. Mv business is made possible only by the application of scientific business principles. Just as the reaper and binder enables more com to be cut, more bread to be made, at a less price than when they used to have to cut the com with a scythe, so my modem enable you to secure a firstclass suit at a -big saving on the old clumsy method of manufacture. I am in business to give every man satisfaction and save you money. If I don’t do what I say I do—well you don’t have to pay, that’s all. It’s a fair offer as man to man. Let me measure you for a suit and prove it yourself. You take no risk—i take it all. My spring suitings have just arrived. They’re the best yet. Why not come in and see them ? You can’t place your order at a better time than now, and don’t forget the address: 22 Princes street and 29 (next Mutual Stores). GET IT!
