When a Five Guinea suit is favourably compared with one at ten pounds, and found to be a better fit, and . equally as smart in style and material, It is very pleasant to the wearer of five guinea production, but rather an- j noving to the man who paid the highei i price. Such an incident did actually j occur the other day, the parties being a dentist and another gentleman. The j former related the fact to John H. j Glasson, Cashel St., Christchurch fiom j . whom he bought the lessed priced suit and was naturally gratified with his bargain. Many already know that to pay more than Glasson’s prices for a smart suit to measure is to lose that j extra money. But for the benefit of I those who have not yet profited, we | point out how simple it is. All you have to do is to mention this paper and say you want a batch of patterns and an easy measurement form. Prices range from 75/-, 85/-, 90/-, 95/-, 100/-. The form enables to take your own measurement as accurately as any tailor. You take no risk. If the fit, making or material is not right, your money will be at once refunded. Every j Igjarmdnt, carries this guarantee. If you write to-niglit your letter will be answered by return mail. Seeing the actual materials will convice you more than ever that here is a safe place to order your winter suit. Nowhere can you get more for your money.—Advt.
