FROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS." Printed by Fergusson and Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Bonevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Messrs, Givthrie and Larnach, May 24, 1876. /^VUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSES. 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 Ketail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodious premises at the comer of the Octagon and Princes street, which are to be opened on Saturday, Jlav 27 This branch nill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, and under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallensteiu, the head of the fcew Zealand firm. Messrs Halleustein Brog under the management of Mr Anderson a partner in the wholesale and factory branch started the Kew Zealand Clothing Factory about two aud a-ha!f yeara ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale ■ at present, they employ between 200 and' 300 hands. They have had to overcome many difliculties and much prejudice, but now their goods, as will be seen fiom the ships' manifests are being sent to all parts of New Zealand In lhinedm 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 advantage to push these in preference to local manufacturea. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures uirect to the large cousuming population of Dunedin ; and, in oider to do ao effectively, they have determined to sell a tingle garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plain figures on every aroicle, 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 inonej returned. As 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 pioportionately lower price, than anything that can be imported. But irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the inteiest 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 sections of the community.
