TAILOR-MADE SUITS.

NOT FACTORY MADE

FROM 55s

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., wuue 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 GeorgeDayies. " 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, every scientific and up-to-dato device has been eagerly seized and turned to good account- in the building of this huse and successful business—we begin to understand lust how different .this business is ftom every other suit business in the Dominion. Whore other tailors make one suit, George Davies makes twenty. It stands to reason he doesn t need to make quarter the profit they do. He has his numbers to make- uj> tor lack of big profit on the individual suit, and it pays him better to make twenty suits at n small proht, than one at a big tirofit. 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 tho George Davies business, and it s the fact 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. liavies buys pieces. He buys direct from the manufacturers in huge quantities and, of course, he gets his tweeds and suitings much cheaper than the tailors in a small way could jossibl.y do. So much for business methods, which explain the saving of! £2 en the George Davies suits. Now about the suits themselves. Your £2 having ready been saved through the advantage gained by the above-men-tioned methods, it is altogether unnecessary for any saving to be taken out of the making. So you have the genuina tailormade suits for .555. instead of 955, the three-guinea suit instead of tho five-guinea, and the four-guinea suit instead of the six-guinea. These suits on which you savo £2 or more are not only genuine tailormade suits made in Mr Davies own workrooms, but they represent the very highest perfection of modern tailoring—all ithe 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, goes into them, and. so convinced is Mr. Davies that he can save you £2 and yet at the same tme make you an absolutely satisfactory and distinctive suit that he give? you a written guarantee to refund you your money 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 George Davids' Shop, Victoria Avenue, at the corner of Guy ton Street, Wanganni. Gentlemen are now booking orders for the Christmas Holidays, and even though you may not require your sviit for some weeks yet, you will be wise to book your order now.

Santa Claus was consulting the calendar. "My busy time draws very near" qnoth he. "I mustn't leave, everything until the last night. Think I'll visit Wilton's Pharmacies almost at once and secure all the cameras I want. All at English price and right from 3s upwards I see."
