GROSVENOR HOTEL Civ Moorhouse Avenue and Madras Street, CHRISTCHURCH. (Immediately opposite Railway Station). Electric cars passing frequently. Internal arrangements thoroughly renovated. Best brands of wines and spirits. Charges Moderate. J. JACKSON Proprietor. WHO GETS YOUR MONEY ? YOU OR THE OTHER FELLOW? HEAD THIS: IT WILL SAVE YOU £2. Tor a long time now the credit tailors have been charging the men of this town 5 and 6 guineas for their suits — they've had to do it, they really can't do it for less. They have the writer's sympathy. But when it comes to a matter of business, sympathy isn't ■what's wanted. Sympathy for wrong methods of conducting business, sympathy for antiquated systems of manufacturing, doesn't do anybody any good. The only way to help people^— to help the public — to heip you in the matter, is to get in and make things different — to do things right, and that's just what I've done. I've made it posible for you to get a suit made to your measure for £2 10s, £2 15s, £3 3s, £3 ss, £3 10s, or £3 15s; that is, at least as good, and probably better, than the suits you've always had to pay the credit tailor 5 and 6 guineas for. It's simply by having my garments cut by the highest skilled cutters in the country, -made by expert workers on modern lines, and the enormous quantity of suits made per week, that I can show you such a saving on such a high grade suit. Then, of course, I do not give credit, I make no bad debts. If I did, I'd have to charge you 5 and 6 guineas for my suits, too. No, when you order your suit here, you pay for what you get, not for what the other fellow gets, and it's because men are too level-headed to go on paying money for what they don't get, that this busi- v ness is expanding so rapidly. It's saving money for men, and giving sat- ' isfaction to all everywhere. The fact is, the fellows who don't pay for their suits have been living on you in the past. You've had to pay for theii suits as well as your own. Gut them in the future. Refuse" to pay for what they get. Pay for what you get, nothing more. You'll do this, when you place your order here, f want you to place your order for Easter now, if you can; it will save you the possibility of disappointment. Just send a postcard or wire, and it will secure you your suit before Easter. Do it now — it means money saved to you. I will forward you a fine range of samples (the newest and best) at once. My address is : GEORGE DAVIE& 196 Colombo street," Christchurch.
