I'NANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an•
other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as mast prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income. but the expenditure, of every individual. Row this may
be effected the following outline of our Revel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING LARGE ESTALILISIENIENTS

in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices eousiderably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon
r,riginal cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
1 ores, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to ear patrons such as
have bean seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the Item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :
