X WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR DURING THE COMING AUTUMN AND WINTER? Just ordinary clothes or a realty High-claas Suit ? There is no very great difference after all in the price, but there is a tremendous difference in the appearance. An “ordinary” Burt of Clothes covers a man, but adds nothing to hie appearance, whereas a High-class Suit expertly out and cleverly designed, brings oat the fact that the wearer is a well-dressed man. ® We make it a rule not to use inferior materials, for although this would admit of lower prices, it would be impossible to tailor a High-class Suit from low-grade fat irics. Our prices are fixed at that point where we can assure a Satisfying, Comfortable, and Stylish Suit, We do not attempt to compete with cut prices: our object is to make clothes for Gentlemen that will be High Class throughout, and that will represent the beat of value. From this point of view we claim that the Suits wo make from English and Dominion Tweeds and Worsteds, at prices from £6 15/ upwards, are realty cheap—'that is, they are full value for the money. “It is not what <mo pays fox an article that counts, it is what on© receives ”; and those who favor us with orders can be sure of receiving complete satisfaction of their desires and individual tastes. 5T A number of Gentlemen have strong preferences for SERGE SUITS, which is a particularly dressy material. Owing to the shortage of dyes, it has been difficult of late to secure Sergos the dye of which would stand, W© have had no trouble of this kind owing to special arrangements made shortly after the war began. We secured supplies of ABSOLUTELY FAST-DYE SERGES of the finest British make. The stock, of course, is now being rapidly depleted, but wo are still able, and will be for some time, to supply Suita at from eight guineas. Gentlemen placing their orders with us will he able to select from the latest London Stylos, or, if desired, a modification, of these; in every case the preferences of the customers will receive the utmost attention. Gentlemen are invited, to inspect our stock of FASHIONABLEMATERIAIS FOE AUTUMN AND WINTER SUITS. J. &J. Arthur, Ld. Merchant Tailors, 12, 14, 16, and IS George Street.
