QUERY: "WHO IS THE SHORN LAMB?"
Tlio man who pays £14 14s or £16 16s' for a_ suit of clothes has no right to complain of the "outrageous profiteering" that is going on. He should blame himself only, and not tho tailor, the warehouseman, the manufacturer, the runholder, tho shearer, or even the poor shorn lamb! He was 'not bound to pay such a large sum for a gentleman's outfit. Whatever the quality, the style, fit, cut, etc., Penrose's price would inevitably have been at least 50 per cent, less, and it has always been so. The wise and tho truly thrifty will note tho facts stated, and profit thereby.
