1 ' ' Tailoring. THE WAR HAS MADE MEN MORE CAREJFUL. Maxt men who went to tho credit tailor as a matter of course have come to us during the lust six months- They looked st tho matter fairly and squarely and said: "1 am paying; £n 5s for my suit. The Crown Clothing Company say thoy can make me an equally' good suit at wholesale. If the suit does not fit mo perfectly and give every satisfaction I need not take it. If I am not satisfied with the price and the materials submitted I need not order it. Figure it out either way, I can't possibly lose, and I certainly can gain! I'll Co round and see them." That's the decision made by scores of men who previously had looked at our advertisementis with interest, but somehow hadn't got round to tho point of making personal inquiries. What pleases us is that each new customer invariably brines in another. He knows flint his friend cannot afford to pay retail prices any more than ho himself could, and with the actual suit to show the saving, is obviou.'. Our business is steadily increasing because of this recommendation of satisfied customors—the best form of all.. Tho war time has shown this increase in a moro marked form than over. Naturally this is very gratifying, but without egotism we consider this no more than our due. Wo eot i out to build a. business on a narrow margin of profit bv supplying to customer* for cash what they were in the habit of obtaining credit, for. (Of course, they paid heavily for the credit, and even tlios. who paid cash obtained scarcely any benefit, because it was the regular custom to pay £S Bs for a suit) To do this we haa to buy for cash in largo unantitieß. Wo needed a large turnover, therefore wo opened warehouses in Auckland. Wellington, and Chriatchurch. and placed largo orders direct with the mills. The question of paying for plate-glass on the main street was another old fetish of the credit tailor that met no favour in our eyes. We wanted to bo NEAR the main centre, but not in (he front rank. We figured that a man would walk 60 yards to the warehouse quarter for the Bake oi saving money, and if ho were further away ho would spend a penny on a car fare. 8o wo obtained large, well-lighted, nn-to-dato warehouses at a fraction of main street rates, and added this to our fund tor saving cus tamers' money. Next came th© making of the suit. We had the staff of experienced workers and cutters second to none. Wo evolved a scientific system of measurement, based on the lines ni tho perfect human figure, which enables us to fit ANYONE in a few minutes and bo save tho interminable "partial try on" and "altering." Our suits fit like a glovo because they are built absolutely for the customer's measurements. They cannot do otherwise than fit. Of many thousands wo hove sold, not one has been returned, even under our open guarantee of cerfoct satisfaction or money returned in full. It will bo seen that the Crown Clothing Company has studied every point of tho business. They ami to savo unnecessary expenses and give the benefit to tho customer, and they have succeeded. Will every man who reads this come and see the suits and materials wo offer in onr show windows? Then will he come inside, and let us further show him our system, and the beautiful new season's patterns? If he will do this, without tho lea't obligation to purchase, ho will have satisfied himself that it is to his in-, West to buy his suits at WHOLESALE prices. Tho more questions and the closer investigation tho better wo liko it. CROWN CLOTHING COMPANY, ELLIOTT STREET. AUCKLAND (Through Strand Arcade). I Merchandise.
