DIFFERENCE IN SUITS.
HOW MEN AKE MISLED. There arc three kinds of suits made-to-measure. First, those 6 tho kind the. "Credit Tailor" charges four, fivo, and six guineas for. Then there's tho kind which aro sent to slop factories to be made, and on which a big profit is made—they're, sold mostly by Drapers, Mercers, and Storekeepers, and small Se.it Shops. Then, again, there is tho other kind. They'™ similar to (he four, live, and 6ix guinea Tailor's except in price-mine aro about £2 less. Further on I'll show you why i can save you money. You will find it's not by taking; it out of the suit—it's by saving money myself.
No-;, since r ve |ir oU ght the prices of suits down throughout the Dominion a host of imitators hav* sprung up. They'jo people who givo ercdit-they profess to make suits at tho same price as mineami so th«y do, but it's only tho prico that's similar. They can't savo money on their production, so to do you a suit it the prico they send it to a slop factory where shirts, and dungarees, and things are made. Tlieso kind of suits can neither keep their shapo nor look well cither
Now, my suits, although aboiif. «•" same price as those of my imitators, mo. as clill'eront to them as chalk and cheese—ami there's a bii; difference between cheese and chalk. My suits aro not scut to a slop factory. They're mado up in my own workshops: mado by experts, who specialise on the making of my suits; specialise in putting character, style, individuality, and comfort into every suit turned out. These suits aro made from similar materials to what four, live, ami six guineas aro beingcharged for in this town, but 1 don't charge you these prices. My prices start at 50s, and Itavo off at 755.
'i'lio reason J can save ;ou tho money a boi'ttiiso I can save it myself. I've my own warehouse—l buy direct from the mills —I. make a hundred suits whero tlio ordinary tailor makes one. 1 soil for cash, only, so you don't have to pay for tlio man who doesn't. The individual profit I niako on a single, suit would keep the ordinary tailor in shoo leather, but » small profit on a hundred suits means a, fair profit for me, and a big saving to you. There's only tho best English and colonial all-wool tweeds used in the making of my suits, and they're cut with individuality and style. I know so well that 1 am pleiiw you that I give a written guarantee to givo you every satisfaction, or refund your money in full. Men in all positions of lifo -Lawyers;, Medical Men, Commercial Men, Clergymen, etc.—aro wearing my 6uita to their entire satisfaction now. I'vo a stream of testimonials coming in by every mail. Somo of these aro put in a little Booklet entitled "What Men Say About My Suits After They've Worn Them." I would like you to read it. A copy of it can bo had at any of niy Branches in tho Dominion — and it doesn't cost anything.
My Business is mado possible only by the application of scientific Business principles. Just as tho reaper and binder enable more corn to bo cut, more bread to bo mado at a less price than when thcy used to have to cut tho corn with tho scythe, so my modern methods enablo you to secure a first-class suit at a big saving— on tho old clumsy method of manufacture. I am in business to give every man satisfaction and save you money. If I don't do what I say 1 do—well, you don't have to pay, that's all. It's a fair offer as man to man. Let mo measure you for a suit and prove it yourself. You take no risk—l take it all.
My Spring Suitings have ju6t arrived. They're tho best yet. Why not como in and see them. You can't place your order at a better timo than now, and don't forget the address: Georgo Davics, 61 Princes street (next Mutual Stores).
