THINGS MEN SHOULD KNOW.

INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE MAKING OF SOITS TO MEASURE, liOff TO SAVE MONEY BUT AVOID DECEPTION-SECURE THE BEST GARMENTS MADE. Every man who formerly had to pay four, five, or six guineas to liavo a satisfactory suit made to <iis measure, and who lias since taken advantago of tlio modern methods adopted by a now wellknown firm of suit specialists, knows that there is no longer any need to pay tlio above exorbitant prices to sccurc completo satisfaction in every respect. Tho wonderful success an<l the rapid growth of tho business conducted by Mr George Davifcs in this and also at every other principle contro throughout New Zealand is eutlieient proof that men were tired of paying tlio old-stylo credit tailors tlio neeassary exorbitant priec-s which they had to chargo to cover their bad debts, and the costly, antiquated methods tlvoy a<kipt m jnanufacture. Just as k tho case, ho'.vever, ; v.'liore any groat success is adiiovcd as tho ' result of an honest, intelligent effort to servo the public well, a host of would-be imitators have put in nil appearance attempting to deceive the public, ami it is against these imitators we would specially warn our readers. You will timl this kind ol thing mostly among drapers and clothiers who handle ready-mado clothing, mercery, and some-Limes almost every conceivable article worn by men, women, and children. Thcso firms advertise suits as low in pric? as those produced by Oeorgo Davics, in some eases lower, and when they have taken your measurements they send your suit out to some factory where ready-mado slop suits are made, and all sons of garments of a cheaper kind. The result is that, you would certainly havo a. suit niacin to your measnro by these various firms, but what sort of ;i suit is it ? It is necesariiy simitar to the ready-m;i',!e slop suits which are made every day in thes? very factories for customers who cannot afford to pay even moderate prices for their suits. How different when yon place your order with George Davies. Your suit is cut by an export cutter of the highest skill, made in Ml' Daviess own workroom under careful supervision, the hishc-.it quality Italian cloth and haircloth is used in tils making oi garments, and _ every iittlo point in the making receives special care in your , intorets. Yot- although the suits made I by Mr Davits aro the equal of any suits ! ma<lo in Now Zealand, at anv price, 110 ; maimer how high, thoy cost, you but a triflo ; nuu'n that: a. suft which you can havo : flop made to your measure at ajmost any drapery, mercery, or ready-mado clothing establishments in tho town. Some superb materials, just landed direct from tho world's beist manufacturers., a? well as from . tho colonial mills, arc now shown for tho winter season. Your inspection is cordially ' invited.
