Tho economic situation in Japan at the present time is not encouraging. Depression in manufacturing is very great, and the agricultural section throughout the entire island is gloomy. This is primarily due to the low price of rice. The shipbuilding programme of tho Japanese navy may be divided an follows:—(1) Shipbuilding fund, known as the " Third Period Expansion "; (2) fund /or making good the looses and damages caused by the RussoJapanese War; (3) fund for readjusting the naval strength after the Russo-Japanese War.

PUBLIC NOTICES. A STRAIGHT DEAL IN TAILORING. PURS CASH TRADING MEA&S SO PER GENT. SAVED Gfo YOUR SUIT TO ORDER. I'm an enthusiastic tailor. I'm enthusiastic mainly because my Cash System is a success. Men apparently have waited years for the tailor who had the courage to ask cash and so rid them of their percentage of paying other men's bad debts. "Nothing satisfies a man so much as straight dealing. I promise big values, and I give them. Every man likes a stylish, fashionably-cut suit at a moderate price. That's what the George Davies Modern Tailoring System stands for —for cash. " Better than ever," wrote one of my oldest customers to me the other day—a customer who has had half a dozen suits made to his order from me. " I may state that I have never had a suit made that 'gave me more satisfaction than the suit I have just received from you, and as soon as I require another one you shall have the making of it." That letter shows why I am enthusiastic. It is simply because my thousands of customers are themselves ENTHUSIASTIC. The satisfaction I gave in the past is nothing to that which I am giving to-day. Most of my tailoring success has come through the painstaking care-1 give each order. " Cutters play an important part in any tailoring business. Any cutter isn't good enough for my establishment. Hence the cutters I employ are men who have been through the school of experience with leading English and colonial firms. With the result that I am doing the biggest tailoring business in the Dominion, and can promise you the smartest, well-tailored, long-wearing suit better in materials, cutting, tailoring, fu, finish, and linings—at lower prices than if you bought from the tailor who isn't particular whether he receives cash or gives credit, so long as you agree to his excessive prices. The prices I ask you to pay are £2 less than his. Nothing higher than 75/ to order fo; sac suits —and the lowest that I can make a satisfactory suit to order is 55/, almost as low as you would pay for ordinary readymade garments. • And between those extremes I have several grades—the difference in price means the difference in the quality of material. No credit tailor can make suits as I am making them at anywhere near the prices. Pay cash and prove it for your pocket's sake. Patterns of new autumn suitings sent free on request.
