A SMART SUMMER StflT £2 ss, £2 10s, £2 15s, and £3 3s. MADE TO MEASURE. THE SUITS now being made by GEORGE DAVIES, STAFFORD STREET, Arcade Corner, next Priest and Holdgate's, at the above prices, are really superb in style, fit arid finish. They equal in appearance the suits Timaru men have been in the habit of paying the tailors who give oredit five and sis guineas for, and they possess one point which no other firm can supply—the famous Keep-Shape Front. The " Keep-Shape " Front is a registered front that ensures the coat frqnt from turning badk and getting put of shape. It is the latest idea from the best London and New. York tailoring establishments, and Mr Davies is very fortunate indeed in possessing the exclusive right to use this front in coats made in New Zealand. Gentlemen who have already had suits made at the Christchurch establishment since the "Keep-Shape" front was introduced have been highly pleased with the splendid coats produced. Then, special care is given to every detail in the making of every garment, and Mr Davies is so satisfied that your suit will give complete satisfaction whett you order it from him, that he has authorised us to state that he will give a written guarantee to refund your money should you not be entirelj satisfied with the garments when you receive them. We attribute the difference of £2 in the price of Mr Davies' suits as compared with the ordinary made-to-measure suit largely to the modern methods adopted in the making of the garments, and, of course, also to the fact that ho sells entirely for cash, giving 110 credit whatever, thus making no bad debts; iand after all, it does seem absurd that- one man should have to pay a «higher price foi his suit, just because some other fellow fails to pay for his, but that is just what happens, for somebody has to pay for those who do not pay, and it is naturally not tlie tailor who gives credit; it is the man who- does pay—you. Mr Davies has just opened ia the Timaru branch a very large shipment of the newest Summer Suitings direct from the manufacturers. They include all the latest shades and colourings in the fashionable brown and green worsteds so much worn now, also many beautiful light materials, and the standard qualities in blues and blacks, which are guaranteed to retain their colour, being of- the best possible dye. Your early inspection of these splendid suitings is invited, and advised. The address iB—GEOBGE DAVIES, STAFFORD ST., ARCADE CORNER, Next Priest and Holdgate's, TIMAIIU.
