Outfitters, etc. 3> AVID B. H AY BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT * TAI L 0 R 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 nlwass bj bought at 50 percent, uiider cost, especially as in order to make up for the transparent absurdity of the statement, they generally ufind up with the assertion that su. hj is neithei a • PUFF NOR A SHAM. Those who make such announcements by no means fla' t r t heir readers, as no reasonable person would for a moment expect any man to keep his shop open for the mere pleasure of se'ling his Goods at 50 per cent, under cost price. I prefer appealing to the common sense of the people and do s > with every confidence when I state that my CELEBRATED £4 10s. T™ SUITis fixed af; the lowest pass'hie margin of profit. b; t that I am happy in being able to jyy that the incivamt and eeci"-(ncre((&hlff di maud fpr thi§ ASTO ISHINCLY 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 s me do. Just the other day a customer told me that it is L2 os. less than he has been in the habit of i a\iug for an exactly similar suit. Such a saving is rot to b? despised in these ' clrenchmvnl times.
