MORE MELBOURNE f’3l7 TALK. The majority of men desire to get as much for their money as they possibly can—that is the basis upon which sensible people plan their expenditure—they have to, because it is easier to spend money in this day of “high cost of living” than to earn it. You have probably decided in your mind that you ought trt get a good suit at a reasonable figure without the “frills” that are supposed to give “class,”- and that you are in the throes of -weeding out the different “makes” that do not meet the ideal you have created about the “kind” and “price” of a suit you want to buy—then let us advise you not to bo misled into paying a fancy price for something you could have bought equally well, if not better, at the Melbourne at a very much lower price. Remember this: That when you buy a Melbourne suit you purchase a guarantee of workmanship and material that invites comparison. Whatever we claim for it, it will do—wear well, fit well, and give you all the suit comfort you desire and plenty of service. Then, most important of all, note the low prices, ranging from 19s 6d to 655. It will be a strange thing, indeed, if you do not become a purchaser. x
