FROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS." Printed by Fergdsson and Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Bauevolont Asylum, on the Premises of Meurs, Guthrie and Larnach, May 24, 1876. i^vUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of some of the large manufacturers at Home, and more especially with a view of preventing the importation of English clothing, intend opening an extensive Retail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures, For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodious premises at the coruer of the Octagon and Prince* street, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27. This branch ill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, and under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of tbo New Zealand firm. Messrs Hallenstein Bros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a partner in the wholesale and lactory branch, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-haif years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale ; at present, they employ between 200 and 300 hands. They have had to overcome many difficulties and much prejudice, but now their goods, as will be Been fiom the ships' manifests, are being sent to all parts of New Zealand. la Dunedin only they have found penistent opposition ou the part of the larger houses who are glutting this market with imported goods, and, no doubt, the retailers find it to their advantage to push these iv preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their manufactuies uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, in Older to do so effectively, they have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plain figures ou every article, from which no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly on the cash principle, and all goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article not found suitable may be exchanged, or the uionej returned. As will be seen from the garments preseuted by the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited iti this building, they are superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately lower price, than anything that can be imported. But, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to Bupport an industry which employs local labour, and is a direct beuefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all sections of th« community.
