Outfitters, etc. D AVID R. H BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT A Y , V. R. tailor TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE FERGUSSON BOWEN, K.G.C.M.G., IT is quite amusing to read some of the advertisements now-a-days, as one would almost fancy from them that Goods could always he bought at 50 per cent, under cost, especially as in order to make up for the transparent absurdity of the statement, they generally wind up with the assertion that such is neither a PUFF NOR A SHAM. Those who make such announcements by no means flatter their readers, as no reasonable person would for a moment expect any msn to keep his shop open for the mere pleasure of sealing his Goods at 50 per cent, under cost price. I prefer appealing to the common sense of the people and do so with every confidence when I state that my CELEBRATED £4 10s. T WEED S mT ' is fixed at the lowest possible margin of profit. but that I am happy in being able Jo say that the increased and ever-increasint/ demand for this ASTONISHINGLY CHEAP SUIT, more than makes up for the smallness of profits, as 1 find that it pays me better than if I were to charge the exorbitant prices that some do. Just the other day a customer told me that it is L2 ss. less than he has been in the habit of paying for au exactly similar suit. Such a saving is rot to be despised in these retrenchment tones.
