Beyond Competition. That's my position. I do a huge trade, and I'm going to Increase it. On such a magnificent basis of honourable trading, tailoring of consummate excellence and astounding value have I built my business, that competition has no terrors for me. Like CaH'ar, I sigh for other worlds to conquer. Unlike Ctesar, I do not sigh in vaingreat as my trade is, it can and will be greater. < Let me show you the condition of the tailors' craft in New Zealand when first I came here and began my work. First of all years ago the oldfashioned bad system of " credit" maintained almost supreme in the tailoring world old-fashioned dear indifferent tailors made clothes that horrified my finer artistic instincts—and I felt myself in the presence of a great need. The need of good tailoring. That need I set out to fulfil—-no easy task—my ambition begot enemies—the old-fashioned extortionate credit men were soon up in arms, and by threats, bombast, etc., endeavoured to thwart my movement towards a system of tailoring of high value and fair cost for cash. Being essentially a fighter, I willingly accepted their challenge, but the struggle was not of long duration—backed, as I was, by sound honest trade methods and high efficiency—friends soon came my way of doing" things, and victory was assured. Some of the customers, men that paid cash for better clothes than were obtainable elsewhere at credit tailors of those days, I am still proud to sec on my list of clients TO-DAY—in a great company of well-dressed satisfied men. I want YOU to join that company—it includes in its ranks almost every really well-dressed, smartly-groomed man in the Dominion. These men dress better than you. And-IT COSTS THEM LESS. You could dress like that—if you pat yourself in my hands—in the same inexpensive way. If you will come into my establishment (it involves NO OBLIGATION), and let me show you some of the exquisite materials I am just making up for Summer, you will be enraptured. When you hear the price you will hardly believe that I am telling yon the truth. * Yet my staff is all highly paia and ot the first order—my materials all from the premier mills o'f the world. How is It? THIS is how it is-I PAY CASH. And all I ask is that you pay—CASH. Then I can save you Forty Shillings clear on a better suit than you can get elsewhere at all. 56/- 63/- 78/- for Genuine TailorMade Suits-to-Order. But—Come and see.
