FROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS " Printed by Fkrgusson and Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Slesirs, Guthrie and Larnach, May 24, 1576. /^WUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, followin? 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 corner of the Octagon and Prii ees street, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 2". This branch mil be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurensou, and under the snperi vision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New- Zealand firm. Messrs Hallenstein Bros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a ■ partner in the wholesale and factory branch, t started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-lia'f 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 ana much prejudice, but now their goods, as will be seen f i oiu the ships' manifests, are being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In 1 Dunedin only they have found persistent opI position on the part of the larger houses who I aie glutting this market with imported goods I and, no doubt, the retaileis find it to their ad- ! -vautage to push these iv preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very I judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures uirect to the large consuming popnla- | tion of Dunedin : and, in order to do so effectively, they have determined to sell a single 1 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, ana all goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article not found suitable may be exchanged, or the inouej returned. As i w ill be seen from the garments presented by | the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of I the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited in this building, they are superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately lower pi ice, than anything that can be imported. But, inespective 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 lections of the community. i
