Clothing Factory about three years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale, but at present tbey 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 tnis 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 efffcifftially, they have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plain figures on every article, from which no abatement' will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly on the cash principle, and all goods must be paid for on delivery, bitfc : ari'y : -arbk;le not found suitable may-be exchanged, or the money returned. As will be seen from the garments exhibited, the public will now be able to choose from the largest stock of men's, youths', and boys' clothing, superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately ljwer 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 Nej\V Zealand labor, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to everyone in the community.—[Advt.]
