MISTAKEN IDENTITY

A BUSINESS MAN'S EXPERIENCE. It is not an uncommon thing for two men to bo so much alike that even their intimate friends make mistakes, and the mixing up of names is also a fruitful source of misunderstanding. Such matters, however, do not as a general rule- affect a man in his business, although at times a little inconvenience may result. A local case indicates that a similarity of names may possibly affect a man in the ordinary course of his business. .Some months ago Mr T. Halligan, for private reasons, returned to Dunedin after having had_ a most successful career up north. Tt is interesting to note that he received his early training here as a tailor with Mr T. E. Eeltham, and as a cutter with Mr Walter lies, whom lie later joined as a partner. Mr Halligan opened a gentlemen's highclass tailoring establishment at 49 Downing street (next Commercial Travellers' Club), and reeeuD circumstances point to the fact that he is being mistaken for a tweed merchant bearing a similar name. Mr T. llnllig.au desires to emphasise that ho has no connection whatever with any business except that of High-grado Tailoring. His suits are stylish, to a degree, the Cutting and Fitting being under his personal supervision. His stock of Tweeds. Serges, Vicunas, and Worsteds arc the latest importations from the leading mills—a choice selection indeed, and second to nonfl in the city. The gentlemen of Dunedin and district are invited to call and discuss with Mr T. .Halligan at 49 Bowling street their requirements for tho coming season.—[Advt.]
