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 especialy 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 office, Cashel street, where the sale of their manufactures is now thrown open direct to the public of Ghristchnrch. 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 iirivi. Messrs Hallenstein Bros under the management of Mr. Anderson started tho New Zealand ClothingFactory 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 those in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factory have therefore judiciously decided to introduce their inanufactiirosdirect to thelarge consuming population of New Zealand, and in order to do so effectually, they have determined to .sell a single garment it the wholesale price. The selling price is to be conducted strictly on cash principle, and ail goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article nof &mnd suitable may be exchanged, or v... money returned. As will be seen seen from thegarnientsexhibitcd the public will now he able to choose from the largest stock of men's, youth's, and. boys'clothing, superior in style and quality, anil at v 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 Now Zealand labour, and is a direct benefit to the but cher. baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, .ii3rshant, and to everyone an the com ; •nunity.—Advt.
