It says something for the Mosgiel Woollen Factory when a -window in one of the leading warehouses in the chief city in New Zealand can be decked out completely with its manufactures That such can be done in a way that can challenge the attention and coniDv.Ji'l the admiration "f customers has been :;!'-'ii-trated by Brown, Ewing. and Co., of !■ media. They have decorated one of their ■::■••)!.''to-qlf.-is fronts in Princes-street, ex- .: :<\'-i_iy with Mosgiel fabrics in a way that ■'; ::>.-• i-U something more than a passiug ::■'■■ . A more charming or inviting pic- • ■ r.i that cm contribute to individual a -S during the winter season has rarely ■ over been presented to the public gaz j . The foreground is filled with tweeds suitable for male attire of the latest and most fashionable patterns, while rising immediately behind arc pieces of elegant woollen tartans intended for female costume-, as free from louduj.-is in color as they are chaste in design and comfortable in appearance. Above these again are tiers of blankets, white as driven sn »w, soft as swandowu, and lustrous as silk —blankets, in fact, that are not to be surpassed either in purity of color or quality by anything ever, niported from the old-esta-blished manufactories of England. Over the blankets and ascending to the ceiling are a fine collection of white and colored worsteds. Th? sides of the window are draped with hosiery, Crimean shirts, and other articles made up on the premises from the products of the Factory. If we are not mistaken, this is the first time in the Colony that the window of a leading retail warehouse has been decorated exclusively with an assortment of Colonial woollen manufactures, and the exhibition is certainly one that does infinite credit to the way in which this important branch of Colonial industry is being developed.— [Advt.] 22 Ol t r New Zealand Industries.—Messrs. Hallenstein Bros., manufacturers and wholesate warehousemen, of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of 9ume of the large manufacturers at Home, and more especially 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 in Messrs. Shrimski and lloss' buildings, Thames-street, where the sale of their manufactures will be thrown open direct to the public of Oamaru. This branch, which will be opened on Saturday, April 7, will be under the immediate management of Mr. R. C. Lindsay, 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 3UO and 400 people. They had to overcome many difficulties, and much prejudice, and specially 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 'h«e in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing J-'actory have therefore judiciously decided |° introduce tljeir manufactures direct to the Jar ge 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 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, but any article 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 a nd quality, and at a p r oportionately lrwer price i,, anything that can be imported. ;- : ' "•'-.•■ VK-otive of all these advantages, it °'. ~ intorest-of everyone to support an 11 ..y which employs Nt-w Zealand labor, ■•'■ • i- ;v direct benefit to the butcher, baker, l; -, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, to everyone in the community.—[Advt.]
