Our agents will sell Auckland Tweeds and Suits made from them, ami the prices will he found all that reasonable settlers can wish for.

We. have also got great facilities for executing all sorts of Drapery, Clothing, and 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 be 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 frout, lessening expenses and turning out better finished goods. The wool is at baud, the labour is plentiful, and all that is wanted is the public encouragement to make it a great success. The shares allotted so far arc 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 au 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.
