Maoriland Workers! YOU CAN HELP ONE ANOTHER. OUNDREDS of Tailors in N.Z. to-day are " * walking about, many of them out of employment altogether, others only getting . half a week's work, and you know what this means-—poverty in hundreds of homes. The reason why these men are out of employment is due to dishonest competition by misrepresentation of a class of labour drawn from the clothing , factories, and employed in production of Suits sold as tailor-made. The labour put into these suits is worth about 7/6 a Suit, as against 40/- paid by a first-class tailor. This is not the only saving these people make, for they cut it out of the materials and linings in similar ratio. You can protect yourself from this deception by stipulating that the coat is to be made by a tailor, not tailor-made or nor tailored in this way or tailored in the other way, but the coat to be made by a tailor. There's very little difference in the price you have to pay, the great difference is in the satisfaction you get. Not only do I guarantee your coat made by an expert tailor, but 1 guarantee you absolute satisfaction on your back for Six Months. SAG SUITS from £4/4/- Gash.
