Tailoring. THE COMING SUITS. THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH. GIVING PLACE TO THE NEW. Tho old idea with regard to suits 13 changing—the idea men had that it was not possible to get a good fitting or wellmade suit without going to the tailor, and. paying anywhere from four to six guineas.; Perhaps, it is news to you to know that in America, and to a large extent in England, tho majority of the suits now worn I by business men and others are ready-to-wear suits? You no dbubt are aware that the Americans at© shrewd and dressy people? Do you know how the change in this respect has come about? Weß, a for the same reason that such changes have come about in other tradesby specialising, by modern methods of manu- . facture, and by selling direct to the public. ?• We adopted the American idea some „ lime ago, of making suits to fit any figure, . even corpulent men. and the success we -. have met with is shown in the increaa--1 ing sales of our "Grownall" high-grade * suits (Eegd.). Old methods cannot live ' against the new, and we venture to pro- -» pnesy that before many'years, the highpriced " made to measure" suit will be practically a thing of the past, just as it - as become in other places. Why should you pay five pounds or more for youi suits, when out of the big range of sizes we carry we have a suit to fit you perfectly, and can sell it at about half tht price of the other How can we do it] Because we have a system of ordinary] quarter, half and three-quarter wises, forty in all, one of which must fit yom if you are a normal figure as most met are. Because we are actual wholesale manufacturers and make _ clothing only i because we manufacture in large quanti ties and sell to you direct because we cui out the middleman and save you thereby his heavy shop expenses. Because wean the only wholesale firm in New Zealand doing these things. We guarantee our Crownall suits an ' cut by expert tailors, and put together b\ skilled hands; that only good material and linings are put into them, and thai no "tailor-made suit (so-called) in th< ! Dominion can compare with them foi value. They are made from a splendic assortment of colonial and imported tweeds worsteds, serges, etc. We invite you t< ; come in and- see the completed garments [ and inspect the linings, the cut, style, fii i and finish. No one pressed to buy. Yo\ ! will get a surprise when you se» th< I prices. A single article at wholesale price !
