FINE TAILORED SUITS

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

FOR IMMEDIATE WEAR

The difference between Lane, Crawfords, fine tailored clothes and cheap "ready made" is the difference between mass pro- duction clothes and work of

the British tailors.

*

The man who wears Late, Crawford's fine tailored clothes

may not realise that his Over- coat or Suit is cut in the latest London Style and tailored by

expert tailors---but he does know that he has never before been fitted so well in Hong Kong, or even worn clothes that he liked so much.

We invite you to come in and try on as many suits as you wish, and decide for yourself this question of fit.

Plus Four Suits, Lounge Suits, Grey Flannel Suits,

Raglan and Shaped to figure Style Overcoats
