TE AEO HOUSE. THE GREAT, SALE THEJJREAT SALE THE SALE DEAPEEY, MILLINERY, CLOTHING, IS NOW ON. Will New Zealand" ever become a manufacturing country ? is a question that no doubt has often" [engaged the thoughts of. earnest and.hopeful.men......Jf she is ever to hold the proud title of "The Britain of the South," and tlie bright future which 'so' many' ! have prophesied for her should ebine r to :passji:it: will be mainly owing to those circumstances 'which have raised, pur. Mother Country to such wealth and to so distinguished a position among tlie nations'of the'earth''.' ' The two great elements' of : • manufacturing success—coal and iron—-are here in i abundance.':' Iri the future,; doubtless, all. kinds of: manufactories will be established and flourish, supplying with their commodities the islands of the South Seas, as well as the Great Continent of Australia. But for the present, and for years to come, many articles will never be produced so well and cheaply as those imported from Europe. As a proof of this, just pay a visit to the Great Sale of Drapery and Clothing now going on at James Smith's Te Aro House, Cuba-street. There you will find goods of the newest class and styles, and ofjthe best "value, sold at such astonishingly lowrates that it would be in vain for any New. Zealand manufacturer to endeavour to compete with them. We would onlysay to our readers, go and judge for yourselves ; and, as we see in another column, that this remarkable sale continues' but only a week longer, it would be a wise thing to remember that what, is worth doing is not only worth doing'iuell, y Joat worth doing at once.
