JOSEPH CLARK. February 23, 1880. 550g* THE NEW ZEALAND HO, THING FACTORY WAS started about five years ago. The proprietors at first intended to manufacture for the Trade only, but, owing to the persistent opposition of importers and Shopkeepers who could make a better profit on the imported article, they were compelled in self defence to open Branches for the sale of their goods direct to the public. In this they but followed the example of some of the largest manufacturers at home, and the Public, by purchasing at the undermentioned Branches, will SAVE THE PROFIT OF MIDDLEMEN, AND OBTAIN A SUPERIOR ARTICLE.
