THE GOST_OF LIVING BIG DROP IN THE PRICE OF MADE-TO-MEASURE SUITS Of late years wage-earners have been more and moro put to it to make ''both ends meet." Deepite tho frequent increases in wages, house-rents and almost everything else have experienced ft corresponding advance, -with the result that most people find themselves little better off for their increased earnings. Ifc is therefore gratifying to learn of one much-wanted line that ;.ot only has not advanced in price, but on the contrary, has decreased very materially, viz., the production of made-to-measure suite. This has been made possible by the adoption of modern methods, and it is gratifying to learn that the pioneers of the_ system were an old-established Christehurch firm, Messrs Tribe and Co., -who introduced these 20th century methods some ten yeans ago. Aβ doubtless many of the readers of this paper will be interested in learning how Tribe and Co. are"enabled to sell suite made-to-measure from 455, when everything else-is odvancing in price, we will briefly describe the system here. You soe, most tailors arekept really busy only in the Spring and Autumn. That means their hands are often idle for weeks at a time. They have got to pay those heeds. But they are not in the charity business, so the cost of keeping their hands in slack timos is passed on to their customers. It- has to be. Yon have to stand a portion of it in the cost of every suit you buy from •• small tailor. Tribe and Co. saw that if they could mako several suite where little tailors made one, they could sell them at about half their price. With characteristic enterprise they eet about doing it, relying, of course, upon a small profit on the larger turnover, rather than on a big profit on a few suite. But, one might as-k, making the number of suite they do, can they give the same satisfaction? Yee, they can, and do ; for every suit pore nut with a enst-iron guarantee thnt if it is not satisfactory as to fit, style, and wear, they take it back and refund the customer's money. He has exactly the same privileges as when buying from a high-priced tailor, and for appearance and style the suit will usually be taken for an ordinary tailor's high-priced suit. In addition to their big local ruit trade. Tribe and Co. have supplied hundreds of these suits by mail to men in all ports of the colany. The firm has never seen these customers personally, but they claim, and with good reason, that no one can give better raluo in materiel, linings, quiltin-jj ana finishing generally. That i 6 why they can afford to take the wide risk they do in making Eureka Suits to order front •Jos • Afijesrs Tribe and Co. had a comprehensive exhibit in the Exhibition, and tht» general opinion of *their workmanship may be imagined when we stete that a large number of orders were received from visitors from all parts. Those of our renders who purpose ordering a n-ew suit, will be well advised if they call and see what thie firm c«n do. before committing themselves to purchase a high-priced suit •ißtier the old con<J:tious.
