fiSSil ■ HHmH M ■ ; H ■ssisa**' WISDONII Everybody realises that many people are up against it to-day, and I am doing my best to meet the trend of the times. Having been in the tailoring trade all my life, I have organised my business on sound lines to enable cbstly waste effort to be eliminated. I have now set out to smash suit and costume prices without sacrifice to quality of materials, fit or appearance. Actual Photo of Master Tailors at work hand-finishing Suits in the E. W. Farrier Value Tailoring Workrooms. ■ SIX GUINEA SUITS or COSTUMES NOW . . . . To insure perfect fit, I measure customers myself, and each suit is tried on twice during progress of making. How I Manage It. You wonder how I manage to thrive at making good suits for such low prices, eh? Well, here’s the secret. I own and run the business myself. There are no partners, directors, boards of management, or assistant managers loading prices to cover their salaries. Every employee is a worker, like myself, and there are no drones. My shop is out of the high rent area, the workroom is on the premises. I buy all the materials and trimmings direct from the mills, and work on a system of small profits and quick return for cash. My staff is well organised and never idle, so you do not have to pay fancy prices to cover loss of time; that’s how I can make good a six guinea suit or costume and still show a margin of profit by selling at 79/6.
