WHAT SAVING MONEY ON A. SUIT MEANS, When we talk about savins money on a suit, tho (act raicly comes homo to the Rcucral public, "What does this mean? One of our customers put the matter .noro tersely arid more clearly than wo have ever heard it stated before. Ho wrote to us: — " For a long time I read your advertisements ard ■ ;oant to come along about a suit. , rinnaly I did so. Your salesman gavo me nd the details, told mo how the suit would be made, showed mo tho samples, and 1 cave my order without hesitation. 1 wn« convinced that 1 would set a suit absolutely ii ,:erf?ct fit at a big reduction on the prieo I 1 usually paid. The day it was to be ready i I was there on time, changed into the-atii'., found that, it fitted me liko a glove, and was satisfactory in every way. I handed he salesman a Five-pound Note. Usually 1 reIcei rod back a little piece of paper with a | stamp, aU(I ' Received with thanks' on it. This time I had quit© a handful of money in addition. It was a new experience 1 1 could not understand it. Somehow I felt I that I OUGHT TO SPEND that money. So I 1 bought myself u new hat Then 1 bought | a new shirt, a collar, and a tie. You would think that tlio end of the money was reached now. but not a bit of it. 1 bought a little Present for tho baby, and save my wife,, the i balance, which was sufficient to buy her a ' "mart hat and a pair gloves." ! Now rend that again, you men who liko to ! work on sound business lines- This citsJ tomer is only trie of hundreds who could I nave acted in the same' way. and there are : many hundreds more who only need some such concrete example to make them go ™d Ido likewise. The fact is that nowadays there | is no reason why invention should stop short beiore cheapening the cost of men's clothes. I'or a long time it was thought that a wellfilling suit SHOULD cost Five Guineas, but the advent of the Crown Clothing Company has altered that. What we Bhte and what we prove every day of each week in the year is tha'. we can make lor you a perfectly-fitting 3uit of good material, well finished in every way, AT WHOLESALE PHJCE. We do it by our scientific system of measurement, ■»■ our careful selection of our warehouse site, and by purchasing direct from the mills in great quantities for cash. We sell for cash, and thereby cut out tho cost of book-keeping and risk of bad debts, which have to be paid by someone. We have three warehouses—Auckland, Wellington, and C'hristclnirch. each doing a public service— men how to save money by Durchasing their suits wholesale. These three sections of the business, as may be imagined, renuirc a tremendous amount lof cloth. We buy from tho mills direct, ! and the size of our joint order, coupled with the fact, that we pay cash, gives us the best terms it is possible for anyone to got. v,« believe in cash trading for ourselves as we 1 ) as for our costomcrs Someone has to make | up for the man who docs not pay, and that is why the credit tailor is sincere when he says he cannot make you a suit under Five Guineas. Certainly wo must bo content with a much smaller margin of profit en each wit. but our turnover is so much greater that' it more than compensates -is. Then there is the mutter of a silo. Ultra was chosen after careful deliberation. Our view is that the rent of a main street frontI age is not justified. No matter where wo located, we could not nltract the eye of every possible customer. With us it is not a catch trade, and the fact that we are in the midst of the warehouse section. 50 yards from the main street, is not going to tire any of our active young men customers or | their parents either. We continually send out a definite message to men—" We can give you a perfect-fitting suit ill wholesale price." Men know that this means u big saving, and if we lived a miie off the City centre, they would come in—because wo have " made good." Men know that we can provide iliem with per-fectly-fitting, well-made suits of good nri ttriai. because I hey see their friends and acquaintances wearing them. it is an easy matter for any man to prove for himself. All he has to do is visit our wai4hou.se in Elliott Street, just opposite the Strand Arcade. Here he will he shown the material, ilie suits ready to send out. and our method of obtaining perfect l.i at the minimum of expense and waste time. Then it depends entirely upon himself whether ho gives us an order or not. \Vo know quite well that our method of working will appeal to him, and thai one day sooner ] or later lie will come to us and buy his suits at wholesale instead of continuing to pav the full retail prices. Xo suit goes out unless the purcnascr is perfectly satisfied with it. If he chooses, 'i« I can bring his wife or sister, and ask her opinion of the suit before he "altrs it. \\'a arc content to abide by the lady's critical judgment We know (hat we can satisfy the most careful dresser, and of tho thousands of suits we have made (hero has ne-vor been one refused. Note the address, and give us an early call
