loudness in color as they are chaste in design and comfortable in appearance. Above these .again are tiers of blankets, white as driven snow, soft as swandown, and lustrous as silk —blankets, in fact, that are not to be surpassed either in purity of color or quality by anything ever, mported from the old-esta-blished manufactories of England. Over the blanket 3 and ascending to the ceiling are a fine collection of white and colored worsteds. The 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 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 especially with a \iew 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 Moss' 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 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 good 3, 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 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 and quality, and at a proportionately 1 >wer 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 labor, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to everyone in the community.—[Advt.]
