Our agents are amongst you to sell you your own wools made into excellent Tweeds, and also shares in the Auckland Woollen Factory to those who have a little capital to spare and wish to invest in a buna fide paying enterprise. The Tweeds, Coatings, &c., which you shall see will speak for themselves, and command attention for style, finish, pattern, strength and cheapness, and it will pay you when requiring suits to encourage the local article, as it re-acts in your own favour, independent of the material being superior to what is imported. Uur agents will sell Auckland Tweeds and Suits made from them, and the prices will be found all that reasonable settlers can wish for.

We have also got great facilities for executing all sorts of Drapery, Clothing, ami Dressmaking orders, and can show greater varieties than if merely confined to one place, and it will be to the settlers’ advantage to encourage our representatives (who will he residents in the district), and enable those who have been sending to Auckland for specialities to see samples and purchase with greater facilities than heretofore. All goods will be delivered in the Waikato, freight paid. The Auckland Woollen Factory (registered as the North New Zealand Woollen Manufacturing Company), has been recently erected, and all the latest improvements that man has brought to his aid are to the front, lessening expenses and turning out better finished goods. The wool is at hand, the labour is plentiful, and all that is wanted is the public encouragement to make it a great success. The shares allotted so far are not in the hands of a few, and everyone who can afford it is invited to buy, even if it be only a few, and thus take an interest in what is really a co-operative business in the true sense. At present the factory is working hard to get the demand for Tweeds supplied, but before the season is far on stocks of Blankets, Flannels, Shawls, Serges, Knitting Yarns, Ladies’ Dress Materials, &0., will be ready for sale, when we hope to supply the wants of the district with goods of Auckland manufacture.
