Thoughts For The Times.

The metaphor of the mote and ant beam is perennially true. There is iai too much criticism of others and tor little self-criticism in these uneasy times. It is the latter we want most, for we really arte on a very dangerous road and we shall never pull up by merely abusing each other,

Readers of the Guardian are good judges of values. They apppreciate a fair and square deal. They know too, when they are being financially bled. It is to be regretted that for the last two months orders for the suits tailored by mail by John H. Glasson have far exceeded the output, not nearly so many as wished, were able to secure one of these splendid fitting suits before the holidays. The position is new, better, and we advise any man wanting a good suit, to write now for patterns. There is no better value in New Zealand today. Prices range from 92s 6d toi £7 10s Od. The patterns are smart, and you have a good collection to choose from. With the simplified measuring form included with the patterns, customers are guaranteed a perfect fit. If any suit is not made exactly as ordered or'fails in the fit, the full purchase price will be at once refunded. No risk is taken whatever you are not a Penny out of pocket if you are not Phased with your purchase. Mention the Gnat jan and note the address, John H. Glasson, Cashel St., Christchurch, P.O.
