FACTS FOR MEN. SOMETHING IT PAYS TO KNOW ABOUT. HIGH-CLASS SUITS. EXORBITANT PRICES BEING CHARGED.

Every man who etudics his appearance and his pocket will find the following inside facts about the tailoring 'J'loiuss both interesting and profitable. As f\ciy man knew to his sorrow until recently, it was necessary in New Zealand to pay four, five, or six guineas to the usual oldstyle tailor for a suit made-to-measure. While these prices are exorbitant, let it be understood that the poor unfortunate credit tailor does not make a tremendous profit for himself even when seeming these high prices. The trouble is that he does not get paid for quite a lot of the suits he_ makes, making tremendous losses in bad debts, and then his method of manufacture is antiquated, costly, and by no means altogether satisfactory in results. Now the intelligent reader of this article will readily see that by eliminating bad debts altogether, and doing business on a strictly cash basis, also by eliminating the antiquated methods in vogue in the tailoring trade fo» so many years past, and adopting the modern la-bour-saving devices in the making of men's garments to measure as now adopted in England, not only could better garments be produced, but a very considerable saving in the price of such garmeuts to the public be effected. It wfcs recognising these facts that led Mr Geo. Davies, the well-known suit epecia'i&t.to open business on modern lines, and undertake to make suits to measure for geutlenien at from JEO lOs to J&3 1S« 7 -wfliici» would be at least the ofjual in fit, iiyle, finish, and quality of maU rial of thr suite )>eing charged four, fivf, and six guineas for elsewhere.
