, Tailoring. //HAT SAVING MONEY ON A SUIT MEANS. When we talk about saving money on « rait, the fact raiely comes home to th« encral public. "What does this wean? Dne of our customers put the matter mora erscly and more clearly than we have ever leard it stated before. He wrote to us- " For » long time I read your advertise- • ments and meant to come along about a suit. Finally I did so. Your salesman gave me all the details, told mo how the suit would bo made showed mo the samples, and I save mv order wiihouj, hesitation. 1 was convinced that 1 would get a suit absolutely 11 perfect fit at a big reduction on the price I usually paid. The day it was to be ready I wa3 there on time, changed into the suit, found that it fitted me like a glove, and was satisfactory in cvory way. 1 handed the salesman a Five-pound .Note. Usually I received back a little piece of paper, with a, stamp and 'Received with thanks on H. This time I had quite a handful of money in addition. It was a, new experience I could not understand it. Somehow 1 felt that I OUGHT TO SPEND that money, bo 1 bought myself a new hat. Then I bought a new shirt, a collar, and a tic. lou would think that the end of the money was readied now, but not a bit of it. I bought a little present for the baby, and gave mv wife the balance, which was to buy her a, smart hat and a pair gloves. ' Now r»ad that again, you men who like to work en sound business Lin.o9. This customer is only cne of hundreds who could have acted in the same way. and thero are many hundreds more v.ho only need some such concrete example to make them go and do likewise. The fact i? that nowadays there is no reason why invention should stop short before cheapening the cost of mens clothes. , For a long time it was thVight that a well- ' fitting suit SHOULD cost Five Guineas, but i the advent of the Crown Coining Company has altered that. What we state and what we prove every day of ouch week in the year is that wo can mr.ke lor you a perfectly fitting suit of good material, well finished in every way. AT WHOLESALE PRICK. We do it by our scientific system of measurement, by our careful selection of our warehouse site, and bv purchasing direct from the mills in great quantities for cash. We sell for cash, and thereby cut out the cod of book-keeping and risk of bad debts, which have to be paid by someone. We have, three wo rehouses—Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. each doing a public service— men bow to save money by purchasing their suits wholesale. These threo section? of the business, as mabe imagined, require a tremendous amount of cloth. Wo buy from the mills direct, and tho size of our joint order, coupled with the fact that we pay cash, gives us the best terms it is possible for anyone to get. We believe in cash trading for ourselves as we., as for our ccstomers. Someone lias to make up for the man who does not pay. and that is why the credit tailor is sincere when_ he says he cannot make you a suit under rive Guineas. Certainly wo must be content with a much smaller margin of profit on oath suit, but our turnover is so much greater that it more than compensates us. "Then there is the matter of a site. Ours was chosen after careiul deliberation. Jur view is that the rent of a main street frontage i" not justified. No matter where wo located, we could not attract the eye ot every possible customer. With us it is not a catch trade and the fact that we are in the midst of the warehouse section. aO yards from the main street, is not going to tire any of our active young men customers . or their parents either We continuolly send out a definite message to men—"We can give you a perfect-fitting suit at wholesale price." Men know that this means a bis saving, and if we lived a mile off the City centre, they would come in—because we have " made good. Men know that we can provide them with per-fectly-fitting, well-made suits of good material, because they see their friends and acquaintances wearing them. It is an easy matter for any man to prove for himself. All ho has to do is visit our warehouse in Elliott Street, just opposite the Strand Arcade. Here he will be sno<rn the material, the suits ready to send out. and our method of obtaining perfect fit at the minimum of expense and waste time Then it depends entirely upon himself whether ho gives us an order or not. \\e know quite well that our method of working will appeal to him, and thai one day sooner or later he will come to us and buy his suits at wholesale instead of continuing to pay the full retail prices. No suit goes out unless the purchaser is perfectly satisfied with it. If he chooses, ha can bring his wife or sister, and ask her I opinion of the suit before he takes it. We. are content to abide by the lady's critical judgment. We know that we can satisty the most careful dresser, and of tho thousands of suits we have made there has never been one refused. Note the address, and give us an early call. THE GROWN CLOTHING | COMPANY, Elliott Street, through Strand Arcade, Auckland.
