ENCOURAGE LOCAL INDUSTRY. -XT 0 W OPE N—NEW ZEALS 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. GEORGE KELLY, Manager, Cfrbtchurch Branch. Opposite Cobb's Office, Ciiristchurch. Our New Zealand Industries.—Messrs Ibtllensl.eiii Bros, Manufacturers and Wholesale Yvarehousemen, of the New Zealand Chubing Factory, following the example of some of the large manufacturers at home and more espeeialy with a view of preventing the importation of E.iglish clothing, are opening extensive rot.iii establishments in the large centres of papulation. For this purpose they have lately fitted up commodious premises op[)Ot.i:.-.i Cobb's office, Cashol street, where the sale of their manufactures is now tlnv'wn open direct to the public of Christchurch. This branch will be under llie immediate management of Mr. George Kelly, and under the personal ftipervision of Mr. B. ilallenstein, the head of the Now Zealand firm. Messrs Hallenstein Bros under ilu) management of Mr. Anderson started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about three years ago. They commenced on a, comparatively small scale, bat 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 j the retailers found it to their advantage to push those ia preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factory have therefore judiciously 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 strictly 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 set,n from iha garmentsexhibited the public will now be able to 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 ail 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, merchant, and to everyone in the community.—Advt.
