THOMAS DOWNWARD,
TAILOR AND DRAPER,
No. 20, TARLTON-STREET,
WISHES to impress upon the minds of all purchasers
that, it' they study ECONOMY in DRESS, he
now offers an advantage rarely to be met with. He has
resolved, from conviction, to solicit the support of the
Public ; in doing which he begs to lay before them a sketch
of what he believes to he the present position of the
Trade, in which he has been for a number of years en-
gaged, and the absolute necessity of some change in the
system hitherto pnrsued in this business : the opening of
this. Establishment is the result. It must, therefore, be
obvious to all, that an Estahlishmen* which shall combine
all the requisites of Style, Quality, and Workmanship, of
the first houses, at moderate prices, would furnish a de-
sideratum in the trade. The advertizer feels assured that
he can offer to the public all these advantages, by the
introduction of the principle of Cash Payments for every
article which he makes. Every garment produced by him
will be made by first-class workmen only ; none others
will be employed. _ _

T. B. will be prepared to offer the Best Black Dress
Coat, average size, for £3 ; made from a quality of cloth
of a fineness rarely used. He can offer a Frst-rate Coat
for £2 14s. These garments, in Cut, Style, and Work-
manship, shall be equal to those produced by the most
Fashionable Houses. If it should be asked how all the
requisites of Style, Quality, and Workmanship can be
furnished at such prices, so strikingly different from those
existing, the answer is simple. Let any gentleman select
from a respectable Woollen Draper a coat length of the
best West of England Wool-dyed Black Cloth, say, for
an average size, one yard and three-quarters, at 235. per
yard; and then add the Makings, as below, end the ques-
tion is answered. In closing this brief sketch of the sub-
ject, be begs to say he does no more, and professes to do
no more than any respectable house can do by adopting
the same method of business ; his object being not to
cover deception by flaming profession. but to take unoeu-
pied ground upon the true, xnerit• of the qnsation. The
Advertiser would call particular attention to the Making-
tip Department, as hearing testimony to the true charac-
ter of this Establishment, which is to offer advantages
hitherto denied to the public by the first-class traders.
Where is the individual who has not many times experi-
ced the difficulty of having his own materials made up
with any approach to fit and style, owing to the fact that
fashionable Tailors object to making up any cloth but that
furnished by themselves? True they do occasionally
make up a garment for a customer as a favour, but do not
generally cultivate this important branch of the business.
Many respectable Woollen Drapers in town regularly
keep stocks, which, for extent and variety, no Tailor
would be justified in keeping, where any Gentleman may
select articles of novelty, and quality of the first manu-
facture. These houses, buying at short terms and selling
principally for cash, can offer their goods to the purchaser
at very low prices.
That gentlemen who would rather select their Materials
for Dress where there is abundant choice and reasonable
prices, do not avail themselves of the advantage to a
greater extent, arises from the before-mentioned difficulty
of meeting with a Tailor to do justice to their garments;
many submitting t an overcharge rather than run the
probable risk of misfits. The advertiser feeling fully the
extent of the public wants in this respect, is resolved to
supply the deficiency in the trade which has sn long existed ;
he earnestly solicits the support of the Public in car-
rying it into effect. He is determined that every garment
brought to him to make shall receive the same attention
in every particular as those where the material is furnished
by himself.
The Customer finding his own cloth, may, therefore,
calculate as certainly upon the fit and style of his Garment
as though he ordered it entire from a first-rate House and
paid the highest price for it.
Gene emen intending to furnish their own material may,
upon application, be informed what lengths they require
for each garment. The prices charged for making are as
below; all quotations are for cash on delivery :
