To the Editor of the Njelsoh Evening Mail g IRi 4_You are doing a good service in stimulating bur producers to advertise through the medium of ' the coming exhibition. Some ot our Nelson wares only require to he known to he appreciated. If Messrs Webley s' ' tweed were not_ good stuff, Yorkshire compounders of Devil's dust would scarcely have tried lo imitate it. Let me tell you one little fact. I sent home enough Nelson Tweed for a suit to a brother of mine, who assayed it during an autumn campaign fishing and shooting in the Highlands, and straightway received a request from tbe two friends who had accompanied him to send them home enough for a suit a-piece. "It wrfs indestructible, and the very thing; Bradford shoddy left its' wearers half naked, while your tweed was as good as ever, and washed like a pocket-handkerchief," I am, &c, Native Industry.
