But Abraham Lincoln was right when he said, “ You cannot fool all the people all the time.” Sometime ago, I saw this—l saw that the people who paid cash for their suits had to pay for those who never paid by trading with the ordinary tailors who give credit, and necessarily made many bad debts—l saw that old stylo methods were adopted in the workrooms, which wen* both costly and unsatisfactory in results as shown in the finished garments which were being worn, and which would in no way compare in the finer points with garments being made in London for little more that half the prices. Just two yeare ago I started to make S UITS-TO-M ENSURE. From £2 5 ?. to IBs., instead of four, five and six grts. 1 cut all losses on had debts by doing a purely cash business in "iving credit to no one whomsoever. I adopted the very best and latent 0 methods in manufacture, and my suits have given such satisfaction to men everywhere, that to-day I am doing the Wggest suit business in the Dominion. I have already thirteen branches throughout New Zealand, in all the principal cities and towns, and every week my business is increasing, which proves conclusively that my patrons are completely satisfied with the splendid garments I produce, and delighted with the money I save them on nigh grade suits made-to-measure. I want every man to understand that mv method of doing business i 3 altogether different from the methods adopted by my numerous would-be imitators, and that consequently, when you place your order for a suit to measure at my establishment, you get garments that are made to your measure in the best possible wav the very best, garments it is possible to procure, no matter how' high the price you pay garments that aro altogether different from anything else advertised in Christchurch at similar prices to my own. further, I will prove every word I say in this advertisement by giving you a written guarantee when you order your suit, that should it not fit perfectly and give you complete satisfaction in every way when completed, I will refund the whole of your money in full without the slightest hesitation. It’s a fair business-like offer that must appeal to every sound, solid thinking man in Christchuroh. I stand back of my word. I provo everything 1 say. All 1 ask is an opportunity. The New Season’s Suitings, a beautiful range of the very latest in all-wool Colonial Tweeds and Worsteds, as well as the latest from England, Scotland and Ireland, await your inspection now.
