FACTS'FOR MEN. "SOMETHING IT PAYS TO KNOW . ABOUT I s HIGH-CLASS SUITS. EXORBITANT PRICES BEING CHARGED. EVERY MAN who studies Lis appearance and liis pocket will -find the following inside facts , about; the tailoring trade both interesting -' and profitable. As every man knew to his sorrow until recently, it was necessary in New Zealand to pay four;, five or six guineas to the usual old-style tailor for a suit made to measure. While these prices are" exorbitant, let it'not be understood, that the poor unfortunate credit tailor does not • make a 'tremendous profit for himself even iffhen securing these high prices. The trouble is that lie does not get paid for quite a lot of the suits he makes, making tremendous losses-in bad debts, : and then liis-method of manufacturers' antiquated, costly, and by .-no means altogether satisfactory in results. - Now the intelligent reader of this .article wiir.readily see that by eliminating bad debts altogether, and doing business on a strictly cash basis,. also _Lv eliminating the antiquated metliodsin tVomie iu the tailoring trade for so many years past, and adopting:' the modern labour-saving devices, in. the making of men's ( garments to measure as now: adopted in England, not' only could better ,garments' beproduced, but -a very considerable saving in the brice of such garments to the public be effected. It was recognising these facts that! led Mr Geor<re Da vies, the> well-known suit specialist, to open bnsi-; ness modern lines, and - undertake to make suits to measure' for-gentlemen. ,at from £2 10s to £8 15s, .which would be at least the equal in' fit, style, finish and quality of material, o( the suits being charged four, five and six guineas for elsewhere. " The result of_ this enterprise : is' that to-day men in ; every town in New Zealand where'Mr Davies : has opened up branch establishments are - saying £2 on the . price of their "suits made to measure, and .in addition- are securing a style - and satisfaction in these garments seldom, if ever, procurable before, no matter .bof high t'le price paid. .- Just.now this firm- is 'sbowiug- some- exceptionally.,high quality fashionable materials, just landed 'direct from the best British and Colonial Mills. The address of the Timaru branch is corner of Arcade and Stafford Street, and it is certainly worth every man's while who appreciates style and quality.; fit and finish, and the saving of £2 in the price of his suit, to inspect the window display now being made at this establishment. The fullest investigation is invited by this firm, and every courtesy in submitting samples and ' prices be extended to "every interested inquirer.
