“Doublebee” Gifts For Men. The name “Doublebee" has become synonymous with all that is most fashionable and most distinctive in man’s attire. At the same time it has always been associated with reasonableness in price. It is no wonder therefore that when the matter of Christ nuts presents looms so large, the minds and the feet of men, women and children turn to the “Doublebee.” for nowhere else in Invercargill can they obtain a wider range of gifts. In the new suit parlour there are S5O suits to choose from at. prices ranging from £2 15/- to £7 17/6. A good fit is assured, for these 850 suits arc in 66 fitting.--. The suit parlour is so designed as to give men a true indication of how the suit they arc trying on will look as they will wear it on the street. Special “daylight” lamps provide a most natural light. “Doublebee” suits have now won a name for themselves throughout the province and anyone who needs a suit, for the holidays cannot do belter than enter the shop at the hub of the town. A large stock of overcoats suitable for summer and holiday wear is also held.

In the new hat room 1500 hats are displayed. There is a great variety both in price and design. Pocket- weight felt hats are only 7/6 and there is another good line at 8/6. Dearer lines, such as Woodrow, Vanity, Borsalino and Stetson are also largely stocked. The many who will be travelling at Christmas will find excellent bags and rugs to choose from, while the touring motorist will not be satisfied until he has one of the “Doublebees” dust coats. If your friend is a motorist what better present could you give him than one of these moderately priced coats? The many Invercargill men who will be competing in the Southland Christmas tennis tournament, the bowling tourney or the representative cricket matches can be sure of being dressed for the part if they go to Brass Brothers for their flannels. For the beach there is a very wide selection of bathing costumes from 2/6 to the woollen palm beach costume at 16/3. Sports coats and sporting pullovers are also stocked in large numbers. Highly suitable for Christmas gifts are the thousands of ties, handkerchiefs and fancy sox in the “Doublebee.” These are greatly appreciated by any man and solve the problem of a limited purse • very happily. There are. also some beautiful mufflers at prices ranging from 2/11 to 17/6. Other gifts which are highly suitable for men are tie presses, trouser presses, dressing gowns and garter sets. The small boy is extremely well catered for at the “Double,bee” and mothers with an eye to economy should not fail to in-

spect the values there. Boys of all ages can be clothed at a great saving and Christmas gifts for boys of all ages can be obtained. To hesitate to pay a visit of inspection to Brass Brothers during the next four days is to lose a great opportunity of affording leisure to yourself and to others and of saving money.
