We confidently invite you place your orders in our Tailoring Department, knowing you will appreciate the work and skill put. into the garments produced.
Mr. H. P. REES, who has been out from London only a few months has already proved he can produce garments that are not only Stylish but Comfortable.
Do your clothes give you freedom at the same time hang smartly? Unless cut by a European expert we think not--the price when the quality of cloth and trimmings is taken into consideration is only a trifle more than you pay for ordinary garments.
Call and let us demonstrate this to you.
