One ot the most important Colonial Industries, and one which is attracting a considerable amount of public interest at the present moment, is the manufacture of our chief product—wool—into the various fabrics for which it is adapted, at our own factories, insteading of sending the raw material to England for that purpose. Following the inauguration of this industry comes naturally the manufacture into marketable form of the prod net of tho woollen mills. This was first undertaken by Messrs IMkiMtin Bros., who commenced business in 1873, and manufactured Clothing, etc., f/om Colonial material. At first they employed about CO bauds,, and their l-usiiiess was a wholesale one. Subsequently it was changed into retail, and now branches have been established all over New Zealand, at each of which shujk garments can be obtained at whoks>ik prac,'and such is the popularity of the goods, through the first-class work put into them, and the superior nature of colonial material, that the demand is dailyincreasing, and the firm now employs nearly 1000 hands! The Wellington Branch's managed by Mr J. Gallic, on Lnmbton Quay, where an extensive and well-assorted stock is kept of Clothing, Hats, Shirts, Shawls, Blankets, Hose, Woollen Tarns, etc., and, as in other branches, a single garment is sold at wliolosale price. Those inclined to support Colonial Industry on its merits should call and judge the articles from aiy standard. ..ml conviction :is to their superi nity is certain. -Advt.
