Value >"or Money.—As a rule, nineteen people out of every twenty believe in getting value for their money, and as a reminder to those who are about to furnish their houses, replenish their wardrobes, or invest in a sewn« machine for adornment, convenience, or comfort, they should go, or send, to J. H. Milugan's Waitaki House, Thames-street, Oamara, where they will find the above adage carried out.—J. H. Milligan, Milliner, Draper, Tailor, and Boot and Shoe Importer.— [Advt.] Gentlemen's Ready-Made Colonial Clothing.—Hood and Shennan, corner of Tees and Itchen streets, Oamarn, have the largest stock of Gentlemen's Colonial Clothin,r in the north of Otago, and unsurpassed for cheapness and durability. Working men and others will tind this a safe and reliable establishment to make their purchases. Every article of genuine quality, and their stock is free of all goods of a doubtful or j)l)lii<h character. One price asked.— [W,VT.I 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 nut complete ly -with its maim factures. That such can be done in a way that can challenge the attention and command the admiration • f customers has been demonstrated by Brown, lowing, and Co., of Dime I'm. They have decorated one of their the plate-idiss fronts iii Princes-street, exclusively with Mosgiel fabrics in a way that demand-; more than a passing notic .

Ot*K New Zealand Txdcstries —Messrs. Hallensteiii Bros., manufacturers and wholesale warehousemen, of the Xew Zealand Clothing Factory, fallowing the example of s./ino of the large manufacturers at Home, and more especially with a view of preventing tlie importation of Kuglish clothing, are opening extensive retail establishments in th-j 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. It. C. Lindsay, aud 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 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, Ml 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 orf 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 (ui-lity, and. at a proportionately l>wer t ■ anything that can -be imported. But, ir ■. sp/otive of all these advantages, it istotfc-- fitcr.jst of everyone to support an indixsti • which employs New Zealand labor, and is a " u-eet benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to everyone in the community.—[Advt.] \*or continuation sez Fourth Paue.J
