TAILOR-MADE SUITS.

XOT FACTORY MADE. FROM f)sa.

.lOW IT WOUKS OUT.

To tho-,e who do not know the fact* and who lu\e not 1 ..oujht tlie matter out. it may seem remarkable that one tailor should l>u .i!jK- to -make p( nuine tailormade totiit-s for irom sjs. while otlier tailors have to charge 4, 5, and 6 guineas Tor their miit.s. But when we come to think it over, when we consider the big saving that George Davies, '•The Modern Tailor, makv s by trading on otrictly cash principles— \i hen we think ot the tiemendous suit ))»siuesrs he 'loe& in his forty branches right vi \ 'jn Xew Zealand — when we remember tlii't cvciy new and better met hud, every j,cirntihc and up-to-date device has been eagurJy seized and turned to good account 111 the building of this huge and succf^lul bUbincsc — we begin to understand jiibt how tlifierent this business is from eveiy other business in the Dominion. Where «ther tailors mako one suit, Georje Davieti make*, twenty. It stands to reason he doesn't need to make quarter the profit they do — he has hi'j numbers to make lip lor lack of big profit on tho individual suit and it j.ays> him better to make twenty Hints at a small profit, than 0110 at a big I i-iroi.t. Again, wheie the credit tailor i losor> a heavy percentage of his accounts 111 bad debts, d'eorge Da vies loses nothing. J]voiy niiit is 1 Kid lor when received — that's the rule in tiie <.'corge Davies business, and it'a that fact which saves you a good part ol your ,£2 in your suit. The re*t, of it is paved by the .small profit as mentioned above, and by exceptional buying facilities which are possible only to a hnn of such size. Where other tailors buy suit lengths, Mr Davics buys pieces; he buys direct from the manufacturer iv huge quantities, and of course. he gets hie tweeds and suitings much cheaper than the tailors in a small way could possibly do. So much for business method*, which explain the saving of £2 on the ucorgc Davies suits. Now, about the suits themselves. Your ,£2 having alleady been saved througn the advantage gained by the above mentioned methods, it is altogether unnecessary for any saving to be taken out of the making—^o you have the genuine tailor-made suit for 55s instead of 955, the three-guinea suit instead of the five-guinea, and the fourguinea suits instead of the six-guinea. These suits on which you save £2 or more are not only genuine tailor-made suits made in Mr. Davies own workrooms, but they represent the very highest perfection of modern tailoring— all the newest tailoring ideas — all the finest cutting art (the best English cutters employed) all the care and horest work which is necessary to make good suits, goes into them, and so rouviuced 13 Mr. Davies, that he can save you £2, and yet at the ame time, make you an absolutely satisfactory and distinctive suit, that lie eives you a written guarantee to refund you your meney in full. If you're not satisfied. Could anything be fairer or more completely to your advantage? A magnificent range of best quality, newest style suitings awaits your selection at Georp-e Davies' hop. Victoria Avenue, at the" corner of Guyton Street, AVanjranui. Gentlemen are now booking orders for the Christmas holidays, and even though you may not require your suit for some weeks yet, you will be wise to book your order now.
