FROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS " Printed by Ferqusbon and Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, on tha Premises of Mesirs, Guthrie and Larnaoh, May 24, 1876. /^VTIR 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 tha 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 corner of the Octagon 'and Prince* street, which are to tie opened on Saturday, Mar 27. This branch nill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, and under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messis Halleustein Bros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a partner in the wholesale and factory branch, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-ba!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 and much prejudice, but now their goods, as will be seen fioni the ships' manifests are being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In lhineoin 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 retaileis 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 manufactures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, in 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 articlo, from which no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly on tha 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, aDd 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 iudustry which employs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, meichant, and to all sections of the community.
