A Man of Modes

THAT there is still room m the world for young men who have business pluck and are prepared to devote themselves to their calling with diligence, is well exemplified by F. R. O'Gorman, of Auckland, who is one of that profession which history has proved often makes the man. There are those sticklers for absolute correctness who may say that a tailor is not a professional man, but surely there is no calling which demands such consummate artistry as fitting the human figure with clothes, particularly that of the male? In any case, it was as a professional man that O'Gorman literally cut out on his own some years ago, after he found that as an employee he could see little chance of advancement. Having taken advantage of the technical training, which was one of the sanest privileges ever extended to men who had emerged out of the blood and filth of war, he was well qualified to suit all-comers as a certificated artist. Opportunity knocks at the door of many men, though some of them require more than a mere knock to attract their attention, but m the case of O'Gorman it was different. He grabbed opportunity double-fist-ed, and, being of a go-getter disposition, he has held on. He gives every indication of being 1 a stayer, too.
