TAILOR-MADE SUITS, NOT FACTORY MADE, FROM 555. HOW IT WORKS OUT. To those who do not know the facts and who have not thought.the matter out, it may seem remarkable that one tailor should be able to make genuine tailor-made suits for from 555., wane other tailors have to charge 4, 5, and 6 guineas for their suits. But when we come to think it over—when we consider the big saving that George Davies, " The Modern. Tailor," makes by trading on strictly cash principles— when we think of the tremendous suit business he does, his forty branches right through New Zealand, when we remember that every new and better method, «. very scientific and up-to-dato device has been eagerly _ seized and turned to good account in the building of this huge and successful business—we begin' to understand just how different rthis business is from every other suit business in the Dominion. Where other tailors make one suit, Georgo Davies makes twenty. It stands to reason he doesn't need to make quarter the profit they do. Ho has his numbers to make up for lack of big profit on the individual suit, and it pays him better to make twenty suits at a small profit, than one 'at a big yirofit. Again, where the credit tailor loses a heavy percentage of hs accounts in bad debts, George Davies loses nothing. Every suit is paid for when received—that's the rule in thf George Davies business, and it's the feet which saves you a good part of your £2 in your suit. The rest of it is saved by the small profit as mentioned above, and by the exceptional buying facilities which are possible only to a firm of such standing. Whero other tailors buy suit lengths, Mr. Da-vies buys pieces. He buys direct from the manufacturers in huge quantities and, of course, he gets Ins tweeds and suitings much cheaper than the tailors in a small way could possibly do. So much for business thods, which explain the saying of £2 on the Georgo Davies suits. >io\v about tlio suits themselves. Your £2 having ready bsen saved through the j advantago gainod by the above-men- j tioned methods, it ia altogether unnecessary for any saving to be taken out of the making. So you have the "enuins tailoruiada suits for 555. instead of 955, the three-guinea suit instead of tho five-guinea, and the four-guinea suib instead of tho six-guinea. Those suits on which you savo £2 or more ore not only genuine tnilormnde suits made in Mr Davies own workrooms, but they represent tho very highest perfection of modern tailoring—all itne newest tailoring ideas, all the finest cutting (the best Engish cutters employed), all the care and honest work ] which is necessary to make good suits, coes into them, and so convinced is Mr. Davies that he can save you £2 and yet at the same tme make you ;m absolutely satisfactory and distinctive suit that he gives you a written cunrantco to refund you your money in full, if you're not satisfied. Could anything" be fairer or more completely to "your advantage? A magnificent ran go of best quality, 'newest style suitings awaits your selection at Georgo David's' Shop, Victoria Avenue, at tho corner of Guytor Street, Wangamii. 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.
