INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE MAKING I HOW TO SAVE MONEY BUT AVOID DECEPTION. . ;• { , SECURE THE BEST GARMENTS-MADE Every man who formerly had to pay four, fire, or six guineas to have a satisfactory suit made to his measure, and who has since taken advantage of tho modem methods adopted by a now well-known firm of ■ suit specialists,' knows . that there is no, longer any need to pay the above exorbi- j tant prices to secure complete satisfaction j in cvory respect. The wonderful success and the rapid growth of the business conducted by Mr. George Davics in this, and also in every other principal centre throughout New Zealand, is sufficient proof that men were tired of paying the old-style credit tailors the necessary exorbitant prices j which they had to charco to cover their bad | debts, and the costly, antiquated methods they adont in manufacture.
