DIFFERENCE IN SUITS.

HOW MEN ABE MISLED. The following information about the tailoring trade should prove interesting and profitable to readers. It appears that three kinds of suits are being made-to-measure to-day. First, there's the kind the "Credit Tailor" charges five and six guineas for. Secondly there's the slop-to-, measure suit, which is made at a clothing factory where all kinds of things from dungarees to shirts are made. Thirdly there's the George Davies suit, which is made by George Davies, the Suit Specialist. ' This Buit is made from the same material as the four to six guinea kind, but it costs from 30s. to £2 less. It costs less, because the firm know how to run their business on a scientific basis. They can make enormous savings beyond the highest dreams of their competitors and imitators. Every suit George Davies turns out is made in hia own workrooms by experts. The saving is made possible by many different'ways in the cost of production. Specialising, in the first place, saves money. Selling for cash only, makes a ; big saving too, for you don't have to pay for the man who doesn't. The small profit on a single suit is a fair profit; on one hundred, and enables the buyer to purchase cheaper than the man who buys from the small shop. Again George Davies has 40 Branches and has to buy as much tweed as 40 shops put together. By this means he can buy direct from the mills, and save money again—no other tailor can. To save his customers warehousemen's charges, George Davies has his own warehouse, which ' again means money saved. Headers will readily see by the foregoing that George Davies' suits are as different as chalk and cheese to the slop-to-measure factory suits, which are being hoisted on the public. These kinds of suits are sold by drapers, mercers, storekeepers and small suit shops throughout the Dominion. These suits can neither wear well nor keep their shape* When being worn they look just what "they are —slop-to-measure. .' The suits made by George Davies have style and individuality, because they're cut by men who know how—men who do nothing else but cut suits. The claim of the Firm that they can save you £2 is imply- proved by" the enormous number of testitiionials which stream in by every mail. Testimonials from Doctors, Clergymen, business men and professional men', George Davieshasso much confidence in his garments and knows to well that he can give you the most critical ..satisfaction, that he gives you a written guarantee; to please you inevery way-~or.refund you r money. It's a'fair offer, lfthere's x fairer, one George Davies would like to '<now what it is, and he'll make you that >ffer too, he knows so we!! that he can please you.
