JAMES THOMAS, TAILOR AND HABIT MAKER, T-ROM SYDNEY, /"^ALLS the attention of the Gentle-men of Adelaide, to make their trial of his style and workmanship, by which, iu an outlay of .-€lO, they will save four at least. The question being asked on all sides, " How can Thomas make Clothing sn much cheaper than any'other ?" The trade of course echoes, " Oh, its all humbug." Now I must distinctly declare, that it is not humbug, but jacts (which are stubborn things). But I will explain how I can make clothes so cheap. It is the practice of the Trade to give credit, and a laid-down maxim that one debt in every three will be a bad one : whereas, I give no credit ; consequently every one pays only fur what he gets, and thus the ridille is solved. In conclusion. I respectfully intreat of those geutlemen who fancy high priced articles, to throw aside the weak prejudice that cheap tailors cannot be good ones, and make a trial of tho undersigned.
