PUBLIC NOTICES. TIIINGS MEN SHOULD KNOW. INSIDE FACTS ABOUT THE MAKING OF SUITS TO MEASURE. HOW TO SAVE MONEY BUT AVOID DECEPTION - SECURE THE BEST GARMENTS MADE. Every man who formerly had to pay four, live, or six guineas to have a satisfactory suit made to his measuie, and who has since taken advantage of the modem methods adopted by a now well-known firm ol suit specialists, know 6 tliat there is no longer any necii to pay the above exorbitant prices to secure complete satisfaction in every respect. The wonderful success and the rapid growth of the business conducted by Mr George Davies in this and also at every other pnnci])al centre throughout New Zealand is sufficient proof tliat men were tired of paying the old-etylo credit Uiilors the necessary exorbitant prices which they had to charge to cover their bad debts, and the costly antiquated methods they adopt in manufacture. Just 66 is the case, however, where any great success is achieved a.s the ixysult" of ai; honest, intelligent effort to serve the public well, a host of would-be imitators have put in an appearance attempting to deceive the public, and it is against these imitators wo vjould specially warn our readers. You #lll liml tliis kind of thing mostly among drapers and clothiers who handle- readymade clothing, mercery, and sometimes almost evciy conceivable article worn bv men, women, and children. These firm's advertise suits as low in price as those produced by George Davies, in sonic cases lower, and when they have taken your measurements they send your 6uit out to some factory where ready-made slop suits are made, and all sorts of garments of a cheaper kind. The result is tliat you would certainly have a suit made to your measure by these various tirms, but what sort of a 6uit is it? It is necessarily similar to the ready-made slop suits which ire made every day in these very factories for customers who cannot aflord to pay even moderate prices for their suits. How different wlien you place your order with George Davies. Your suit is cut by an expert cutter of the highest skill, made in Mr Daviee'e own work room, under careful supervision, the highest quality Italian -loth and haircloth is used in tlie making of garments, and every little point in Iho making receives special care m your in'crests. Yet although the suits made by Mr Davies are the equal of any suits mad'e. 'n New Zealand, at any price'., no matter ow high, I hcy cost you hut a trifle more ban a suit which you can have slop-made D your measure at almost any dra|iery, mercery, or ready-made clothing estahlis'hnent in the (own.
