One ot t|ie mo3t important Colonial lnda tries, and one which is attracting a considerable amount of public interest at the present moment, is the - , manufacture of our chief prodUct—wo ol—into the various fabrics for which' it is adapted, at our own factories, instoading. of ■sending the raw material to England for that, purpose. Following tho inauguration of this industry comes naturally the manufacture into marketable form of the product of the /woollen mills, This was first undertaken by Messrs Halknskin Bros., who commenced business in 3873, and manufactured Clothing, Ac, from Colonial material. . At first they employed about 60 hands, and their business was a wholesale one. Subsequently it was changed into retail, and now branches have been established all over Now Zealand, at oich of which single garcan he obtained at wklemk price, and cVis the popularity of the goods, through the first-class work put into them, and the superior nature of colonial material, that the demand is daily increasing, and the firm now omploys nearly 1000 hands! The Wellington Branch is managed by Mr J. Gallie, on Lambton Quay, where an extensive and well-assorted stock is kept of Clothing, . Hats, Shirts, Shawls, Blankets, Hose, ' Woollen Yarns, &c, and, as in other branohes, a-single garment is Bold at wholo- ' sale price. Those inclined to support Colo- ■- nial Industry on its' merits should call and judge the articles from aiy standard, and oonyiction as to their superiority is certain. —Advt;
