THOMAS DOWNWARD,
TAILOR AND DRAPER,
No. 20, TARLTON-STREET,

WISHES to impress upon the minds of all purchasers
that, if they study ECONOMY in DRESS, he
•
now offers an advatage 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 be 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 pursued in this business : the opening of
this Establishment is the result. It must, therefore, be
obvious to all, that an Establishment 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 advertiser 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 first-rate Coat
for £2 14s. These garments, in Cut, Style, and Work-
manship, shall be equal to iose 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, and the ques-
tion is answered. in closing this brief sketch of the sub-
ject, he 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 unoc-
cupied ground upon the true merits of the question. The
Advertiser would call particular attention to the Making-
up Department, as bearing testimony to the true character
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 experienced 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 manufacture. 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 meet-
ing with a Tailor to do justice to their garments; many
submitting to 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 so long existed, he
earnestly Solicits the support of the Public in carrying 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 cal-
ciliate as certainly upon the fit and style of his garment
as though be ordered it entire from a first-rate house and
paid the highest price for it.
Gentlemen 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 :
