WHAT HE PUT ON. Recently the teacher of a village school ■was asking her class some questions. One of them was. " Can any boy toll mo what harness is?" Not a single boy knew. "Well." continued Iho teacher. is there anyone whose father works among horses? One little boy shouted: " Yes, nuss. mine °" Well, what is it your father puts on the horses every day?" "My mother says, miss, nearly every shilling he eajus.'"

PUBLIC NOTICES. Some of mv customers, have- pot a habit of alluding to mo m the above It is significant—an eloquent jisoudonym. It's a great thing to feel the mastery of anv department of art—and I justly regard the proper draping of the human figure as an art. I What I want to point out is how the years of toil and painstaking effort on my part help YOU. I say toil advisedly, for my achievements'are as much due to " perspira- | tion " as " inspiration," like all other achievements. It helps you—or if not, it CAN help you to an' extent that will surprise i you when you grasp the facts. It's this way: My mastery of the sartorial art enables you to wear clothes of an order that manv other people on tho Australian Continent cannot afford to wear. My many hundreds of customers in i the Dominion aro reaping tho benefiteating tho fruit of a great organisation to produce not profit primarily, hut good clothes. That's how it is that 1 can supply j you with a suit for cash at two pounds less than the recognised chargo for such a suit. I don't live to mako money—no—l live to make fine suits—the money is only an accessory part. You can have clothes made by a clothes master at less than you would nay for a suit mado by a tailor with a big connection and charges of the same kind. You pay cash. Tho enormous value I give doesn't onable me to work for credit—even if I approved of such a thing. Tho system of "good clothes "—the first consideration —profit second, haa earned mo a great and growing clientele. I have gained to my establishment the largest number of highly competent practised cutters and tailors in tho Dominion. It's tho quality of tho men who handlo your suit that makes it what it is, UNDER THE EYE OF THE MASTER. All these men—every one of my staff can draw on years of valuable training and experience—they can ONLY' mako the good sort of suits in tho George Davios way. Their combined experience and talent and my knowledge aro irresistible factors in the creation of the perfect suit. In some ways I am conservative—but I'm safe—your suit is safe in my hands —and my personal guarantee of satisfaction or your money refunded protects your purse always. Come in and let me show you some of my fine new materials to-day, or, of course, I can post thorn—every suit tried on in process of making if desired.
