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 espucialy witli a view of preventing the importation of English clothing, {ire opening extensive retail establishments in the large centres of population: For this purpose they have lately fitted up commodious premises opposite Cobb's oflice, Caahel 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 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 bell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling princ is to be con•ducted strictly on cash principle, and all goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article no*" Eonnd suitable may be •exchanged, or iv. money returned. _As will be seen seen fmm thegarmentsexhibited ■ the public will now be able to choose from tli*« largest-;stock-of muu'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, .narcliant, and to everyone in the comvnanity.—Advl.
