MEN'S, YOUTHS' and BOYS' CLOTH ING Superior in Style to Imported Goods. A Single Gaiutknt at Wholesale Piuce. g (iEORGE 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 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 Cobb's office, Cashed street, where the sale of then* 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 superxi ion 6f Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs Hallens em Bros under the management of Mr. Anderson started the Now Zealand Clothing Factory about three years agn. They commenced on a comparatively small scale, but at present they employ between '500 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 manufacture*. The proprietors of the New ■Zealand Clothing Factory have therefore judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures direct, to tho 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 con--7 ducted strictly on cash principle, and all goods iuust be paid for on delivery, but any article no* 'found suitable may be exchanged, or v.... money returned. As will be seen seen fiomthegarmentsexhibited 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 all these advantages,' it is , to the iuterest of everyone to support an 'industry;' which employs New Zealand labour, and is a direct benefit to the but cher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, aisrchant, and to everyone in the com .nunity.—Advt.
