IS THIS TRUE? One of the foremost organiser* of the century says: "Take the matter of clothing—that it a universal necessity. No one know* how much clothing the country requires. It all depends on the price. If the price be high a man will wear his suit as long as be can.' Buying a suit will be on a par with buying a home-or a farm. Ac the price drops the purchase ' will be easier and easier to make, and when the price gets'very low even the poorest will buy clothing freely. "In the end it is the way that I an article is made and not the: way that it is sold, that governs, and if a product requires an unusual degree of salesmanship it is always a question whether the product is right"—That's what Henry Ford says. WILL THIS BE TRUE? The foremost 'inventor of die age said: "Machinery will produce, under modern methods, a quality standard of clothing so'cheap', that even the poorest; will'be able to afford several suits, each year. Not the cheap product, but high grade material and craft"—That's what Edison said. IT CAN BE TRUEII Situated trader*perhaps the most favourable circumstances possible, New Zealand should b* setting the standard of price and quality for ■ the world—but We we? Rather are we content to follow the old traditions and tule' of - thumb methodr;* ~ Our * isolation i*' taken advantage of, but there will have to be a. day of reckoning and the first in the field to give you the natural advantage, not the-fiscal advantage, will reap the benefit. With; our eye to the future, Cor> coran will start the New Year with prices that, so far as NX is concerned, will prove sensational and will be on a world parity, not a local agreement. N.Z. sells wool, cheese and meat at world parity; why can't you buy your clothes the same?— That's what Corcoran says: MAKE IT COME TRUE!] It is in your hands to get full - value for your money when you consider these factors. How much entertainment do you.get in shop window-gazing when in the market for a suit? You would laugh if your womenfolk bought the bread with ribbon on it. Yet, do you buy "stage scenery" suits or do you consider the saving possible under "Corcoran Craftsman to Consumer" methods. Have you got what we are driving at? A Corcoran "Correct" Suit does not include in its priceeither high shop rent, the in* iquitous credit system, or extensive advertising. Commencing the New Year— Suits that have the Hallmark "Corcoran-Correct" from three guineas—and they are all that the name implies.
