Outfitters, etc. d av,d r. hj BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT R. tailor TO HIS EXCELLENCY A Y , SIR GEORGE FERGUSSON BOWEN, K.G.C.M.G., IT is finite amusing to read some of the adveriisements now-a-daya, as one would almost fancy from them that Goods could alw.ays be 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 neithet 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 man to keep his shop open for the mere pleasure of scaling 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 ' J CELEBRATED £4 10* T W “ D S U[T ; is fixed at the lowest poss bio margin of prolit, b' t that I am happy in being able to •ay that the increased and e.rcr-incniisinti demand for this ASTO ISHINGLY CHEAP SUIT, more than makes up for the smallness of profits, as I find that it pays me better than if I were to c’ arge the exorbitant prices that some do. Just tbc other day a customer told me that ilia L?, sa. less than he has been in the habit of paying for an exactly similar suit. Such a saving is rot to be despised in these retrenchment times.
