TO THE GENTLEMEN OF WANGANUI AND OUTLYING DISTRICTS,WE have great pleasure in thanking our friends and the publio for the very liberal support they have given us since starting business. There can be no surer indication than the enormous increase in our trade that the right art'cles at the right prices are being supplied. Believing the only way to win success is to deserve it by supplying our customers with the] VERY BEST ARTICLE at ihe j LOWEST PRICE. Therefore we are about to adopt [a New System, whioh will !!S!r Completely Revolutionise the Tailoring Trade, We feel sure that the public will not be satisfied with an unsightly slop-made garment if we c»n guarantee a thoroughly good article made to order at a reasonable price. MTTo enable me to do this, we have decided to allow 7i per cent, on all good paid for within one month from date of delivery, and on and after November Ist the same rate of interest will be added to accounts not paid within the month. This arrangement will enable us to make a Reduction of from 10 to 15 per cent. on our , present prices, so that a Cash Customer will make a olear Saving of from 17i to 22§ per cent. Gentlemen favouring us with their orders will find that while oharging lower prices we shall maintain our reputation for Excellence of Material and Perfeot Fit,
