~iC •• •• - r ' *V r K"-' 'If,*' ' Tailoring. THE WAR HAS MADE HEH - PRE CAREFUL. Mast men who went to the credit tailor as a matter of oourE© have come to us during the last six months. They looked at the matter fairly and squarely and said: " I am paying £5 5s for my suit. The Crown Clothing Company Bay they can make me ail equally good aui6 at wholesale. If tiio suit does not fit mo perfectly and give «verc satisfaction I need cot 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 go round and seo them." That's the decision made by scores of men who previously had looked at our advertisements with interest, but somehow hadn't got round to tho point of making personal inj quiries. What pleases us is that each new customer invariably brings in another. He knows that 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 be:auio of this recommendation or satisfied customers— the best form of all. The war time has shown this increase in a mora marked form than ever. Naturally this is very gratifying, but without egotism wo consider this no more than o-.u due. We set out to build a business on a narrow margin of profit by supplying to customers for cash what they were in th« habit of obtaining credit for. (Of course, they paid heavily (or the credit, an'! even tlws • who paid cash obtained scarcely any benefit, because it was the regular custom to pay £5 5s for a suit.) To do this wo Ln<l to bu7 lor cash in large Quantities. Wo needed a large turnover, therefore we opened warehouses in Auckland. Wellington, and Christchurch. and placed largo orders direct with tho mills. Tho question of paying for plate-glass on tho main street was another old fetish of tho credit tailor that met no favour in our eyes. We wanted to be NEAX the main centre, but not in the front rank. We figured that a man would walk 50 yards to tho warehouse yuarter for the sake of saving money, and if he were further away he would spend a penny on a car fare. So we obtained large, well-lighted, up-to-date warehouses at a fraction of main street rates, and added this to our fund for savins customers' money,. Next came the making of the suit. We ha 3 the staff of experienced workers and cutters second to none. Wo evolved a scientific system of measurement, based on the lines ot the perfect human figure, which enables us to fit ANYONE in a few imputes and so save tho interminable "partial t>y on" and "altering." Our suits tit likj a glove because they are built absolutely for the customer's measurements. Tb'jy cannot do otherwise than fit. Of many thousands we have sold, not one has been returned, even under our open guarantee of perfect satis* faction or money ( returned in fullIt will be seen that the Crown Clothing Company has studied every point of the business. They aim to save unnecessary expenses and give the benefit to the customer, and they have succeeded. Will every man who reads this tome and seo the suits and materials we offer in our 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 the least obligation to purchase, ho will have satisfied himself that it m to his interest to buy his suits at WHOLESALE prices. The more questions and the close*; investigation, the better we like. it.
