THE LAST 18 MONTHS' 
EXPERIENCE 
of supplying Military men with the best 
quality, material, cut and workmanship 
has fulh- justified our expectation that 
increased business would enable us to 
keep prices on the pre-war basis, in spite 
of increased cost in every item. This will 
be proved by a glance through the 
useful 70-page booklet issued for the 
convenience of those receiving a 
Commission and of Officers under 
orders for abroad. It contains even.' 
possible item of an Officer's Uniform and 
Equipment with prices. Fresh editions 
are continually being brought out, so 
this Guide is always up to date with the 
latest information. 
The custom of printing testimonials has 
now become so general that the value of 
them from an advertising standpoint is 
apt to be over estimated. We must, 
however, quote the following, as the 
implied suggestion might well be 
taken as advice by anyone receiving a 
commission : — 
"R.A. Mess, 
Island of St. Helena, 
5th March, 1916. 
" I received per the mail yesterday the 
uniform and your account. I hare to 
again thank yon for the excellent fit,- and 
very much regret I did not come to you u'hen 
first taking a commission. Your letter of 
tlie 4th, etc., etc. 
N. H. R. 
{Lt. R.M.A.) " 
An interesting analysis for 12 months 
shows that by the 1,417 Officers who 
have entrusted us with their complete 
Uniform when receiving a Commission, 
every line Regiment in the British Army 
is represented, with the exception of two 
—the Royal Irish and the H.Iy.I. We 
shall be glad if any Gentlemen receiving 
Commissions in these Regiments will 
allow us to complete our record. 
" A firm established as Military Outfitters 
during the Crimean War and Indian 
Mutiny, with the outfitting experience of 
the South African War and the two Egyptian 
Campaigns well within the memory of many 
of its Staff, is entitled to deal with the sub- 
ject of Military Outfitting wtih some degree 
of authority." — (" Land & Water," March
