Readers of tlie Guardian are good judges of values. They npppreeiate a fair and square deal. They know too, when they are being financially bled. It is to bo 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 this fid to t 7 |os Od. The patterns are smart, and you have a good collection to choose from. With the simplified measuring form included with the patterns, customers arc guaranteed a perfect fit. If any suit is not made exactly as ordered or fails in the fit, the lull purchase price will lie at once refunded. No usk is taken whatever, you are not a penny out of pocket if you are not pleased with your purchase. Mention the Guardian and note the address, .John H. LWU'so„, Cashel St., Christchurch, P.O.
