Tailoring. DIFFERENCE IN SUITS. HOW MEN ARE MISLED. There are three kinds of suits made to measure. First, there's the kind the "Credit Tailor" charges four, five, and six guineas for. Then there's the kind which are sent to slop factories to be made, and on which a big profit is made—they're sold mostly by Drapers, Mercers, and Storekeepers and small Suit Shops. Then, again, there's the other kind of suitthe George Da vies kind. , They're similar to the four, five, and six guinea Tailor a except in —mine are about £2 less. Further on I'll show you why I can save you the money. You will find it's not by taking it out of the suit—it's by paving money myself. Now, since I've brought the prices of suits down throughout the Dominion a host of imitators have sprung up. They're the people who give credit—they profess to make suits at the same price as mine—and so they do, but it's only the price that's similar. They can't save money on their production, so to do you a suit at the price they send it to a slop factory where shirts and dungarees and things are made. These, kind of suits can neither keep their shape nor wear well, nor look well either. Now, my suits, although about the same price as those of my imitators, are as different to them as chalk and cheese—and there's a big difference between cheese and chalk. My .suits are not sent to a slop factory. They're made in WORKROOMS ENTIRELY UNDER MY OWN CONTROL—made by experts, who specialise on the making of my suits; specialise in putting character, style, individuality, and comfort into every suit turned out. These suits arc made from similar materials to what four, five, and six guineas are being charged for in this town, but I don't charge you these prices. My prices start at 50s and leave oil at 755. The reason I can save you the money is because I can Rare it myself. I've my own warehouse—l buy direct from the Millsl make a hundred suits where the ordinary tailor makes one. I sell for cash only, so you don't have to pay for the man who doesn't. The individual profit I make on a single suit wouldn't keep the ordinary tailor in shoe leather, but ft small profit on a. hundred suits means a fair profit for me and a big saving to you. There's only the best English and Colonial all-wool tweeds used in the making of my , suits, and they're cut with individuality and style. . I know so well that I can please you that I give a written guarantee to give you every satisfaction, or refund your money in full. Men in all positions of life—Lawyers, Medical Men, Commercial -Men, Clergymen, etc. —are gearing my suits to their entire satisfaction now. I've a stream of testimonials coming in by every mail. Some of these are put in a little booklet, entitled " What men say about my suits after they've worn them." I would like you to read A copy of it can be had at any of my Branches in the Dominion—and it doesn't cost anything. My business is made possible only by the application of scientific business principles. Just as the reaper and binder enable more corn to be cut, more bread to be made at a less price than when they used to have to cut the corn with the scythe, so my. modern methods enable you to secure a first-class suit at a big saving on the old clumsy method of manufacture. I am in business to give every man satisfaction and save you money. If I don't do what I say I well, you don't have to pay, that's all! It's a fair offer as man to man. Let me measure you for a suit and prove it yourself. You take no risk—l take it all. My Spring Suitings have just arrived. They're the best yet. Why not come in and see them?
