' Printed by I | Fergusson and Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Banevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Mean, Guthrie and Larnach, May 24, IS76 f i | — — . i | f}™ LOCAL INDUSTRIES. I 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 i -view of preventing the importation of Engi lish clothing, intend opening an extensive | Retail Establishment for the sale of their i manufactures. For this purpose, they havr | fitted up commodious premises at the corner of the Octagon 'and Prince* street, which are I to be opened on Saturday, May 27. This I branch <vill be under the immediate manage- ! incut of Mr. Laurenson, and uuder the super- \ vision of Mr. 18. Hallenstein, the head of the ; New Zealand firm. Messrs Halleustein Broi., | uuder the management of Mr Anderson, a partner in the wholesale and lactory branch, ! staited the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-ba!f years ago. They com1 nienced ou a comparatively small scale ; at j present, they employ between 200 and 300 1 hands. They have had to overcome many difficulties and much prejudice, but now their goods, as will be seen from the ships' manifests, are being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In Dunedin only they have found persistent opposition on the part of the larger houses who are glutting this market with imported goods, and, no doubt, the retailers find it to their adi vantage to push these iv preference to local i manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy hare, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their manuI factures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin. : and, iv order 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 on 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 fovnd suitable may be exchanged, or the wonej returned. At ■will be seen from the garments presented by the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited in 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 support an industry which employs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all section* of th» community.
