ENCOURAGE LOCAL INDUSTRY. ■vr O W OPE N—NEW ZEA_IN LAND CLOTHING FACTORY'S RETAIL BRANCHES— Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin. MEN'S, YOUTHS' and BOYS' CLOTHING Superior in Style to Imported Goods. A Single Garment at Wholesale Price. UEORCtE KELLY, Manager, Christchurch. Branch —Opposite Cobb's Office Christchurch. Our New Zealand Industries.—Messrs Hallenstein Bros, Manufacturers and Wholesale Warehousemen, of ,the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of some of the large manufacturers at home and more especial with a view of preventing the importation of English clothing, are opening extensive retail establishments in the large centres of population. For this purpose they have lately fitted up commodious premises opposite Cobb's office, Cashel street, where the sale of their manufactures is now thrown open direct to the public of Christchurch. This branch will be under the immediate management of Mr. George Kelly, and under the personal supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs Hallenstein Bros under the management of Mr. Anderson started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about three years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale, but at present they employ between 300 and 400 people They had to overcome many difficulties, and much prejudice, and especially the persistent opposition on the part of * the larger houses glutting this market with imported goods, and no doubt the retailers found it to their advantage to push these in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factory have therefore injudiciously decided to introduce their manufactures direct to the large consuming population of New Zealand, and in order to do so effectually, they have, determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be conducted stricily on cash principle, and all goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article not found suitable may be exchanged, or the money returned. As will be seen seen from the garmentsexhibited the public will now be ableth choose from the largest stock of men's, youth's, and boys'clothing, superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately lower price to anything that can be imported. But, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to support an industry which employs New Zealand labour, and is a direct benefit to the but cher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, iiiarchaiit, and to everyone in the community.—Ad vt.
