THE AGE OF DEVELOPMENT.
Aristotle described man as a political | animal. Since then man has changed bub little, only in the more extended gratification of material comforts. What possibilities of enjoyment the great philosopher missed by being so previous to the advent of New Zealand tweed suits at 22s 6d and trousers at 7s 6d. What joy it would have been to his paternal heart to find that excellent boys' school suits were only 7s 6d, and youths' strong colonial tweed suits 18s 6d. The purple and fine linen of Tyre and Egypt were as naught as compared with the beautiful variety of shirts and underwear being sold at exceedingly low prices. Had bhe expounder of inductive philosophy seen the splendid suits to measure at 42s fid and 50s, he would have marvelled much. Let us be thankful we are not as Aristotle, bub can participate in these good things by visiting the New Zealand Clothing Factory, 158 and 160, Queen-street. Patterns, etc., post free.
