As you walk along the street you meet men who by a certain distinction —perhaps hard to exactly define —seem lifted above the ordinary. This has a good deal to do with the way they are tailored. Clothes may not make a man, but they do make or mar his appearance. Most men like to have a suit in Class A., but not every one cares, or can afford to pay /, 8,9, or 10 guineas for it. However, a large number of readers of-this paper have found that they can get the best all wool materials, the most fashionable cut, and comfortable fitting, well finished suit made to measure by mail for 755, 85s, 95s 105 s, 110 s. They see nothing iu any suit costing £2 more to cause them any envy. If conflcting claims confuse you when you are about to order your suit—hold fast to this thought—that the joint judgment of working men, business men, farmers, and professional men, speaking from experience, is that the suits turned out by John H. Classon, Cashel St. Christchurch by mail arc a triumph of what can be done by selling direct from the workroom at a small margin of profit over cost of production. The quality of the cloth is guaranteed and selection can be made from 50 patterns. These will be sent with a wonderful simple measurement form on receipt of your address. Write to-night; 12 months hard wear will vindicate your highest expectations. Money refunded for any cause of the dissatisfaction. Advt.
