Every Name on The Black List Represents an 'Unpaid Tailor’s Bill ... If you want to know one reason why you pay such high prices for : your tailoring, road these few | extracts taken from the Christ* ! church papers: — “The Dunedin Master Tailors have decided to establish a ‘Black Lief which will be available in all tailoring-estab-lishments. The Master Tailors find the cost prico of suits going up, and will endeavour to make the ‘ bad marks ’ pay Some of the extra cost before passing it on to good customers;” “There are thousands of pounds owing to tailors in Christchurch, and one firm alene Has over £2,000 outstanding an its books. One tailor asserted that his worst enemies were his own friends —a man might pay down £4 on a suit and leave the balance owing permanently.” The tailors, then, frankly admit that they charge you over and above the real value for their suits in order to make up their losses incurred by giving credit. They need the “black list” badly, but the Sartorial Service Ltd. trade only for cash, and consequently have no use for it. If you would only once try a £3 3/Sartorial Suit made to your special order, you would fully appreciate our statement that your tailor charges you 20/- to 30/more than we do for the same quality suit —or better. Don't take our word for it, but come and place your order for a£3 3/- suit to-day. We pledge ourselves to satisfy you, and our word is our bond. If you cannot call and look over the new Spring Suits personally, we will send you, samples. Our representative can also visit you in your home to take your measurements.
