PROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS " Printed by Fkrgusson and Mitchbll During the Fete in. aid of the Benevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Meurs, Guthrie and Laroach, May 24, 1876. /~\UR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of some of the large manufacturers at Home, aud more especially with a view of preventing the importation of English clothing, intend opening an extensive lietail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodious premises at the corner of the Octagon aud Prince* street, which are to be opened ou Saturday, May 27. This branch «ill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, aud under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallensteiu, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs Hallenstein Bros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a partner in. the wholesale and factory branch, staited the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-ba'f years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale ; at preseut, they employ between 200 and' 300 hands. They have had to overcome many difficulties and much prejudice, but vow their goods, as will be seen fiom the ships' manifests, ate being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In. Dunediu ouly they have found persistent opi position 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 iv preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, thciefore, very judiciously decided to iutioduce their tnanu • iactmea uirect to the large consuming population of Dunediu : and, in oider to do go effectively, they have determined to sell a single j garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plain figures on every article, fronMyhich no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly on the cash principle, aud 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, aud now exhibited in this building, they are superior iv style and quality, and at a pioportionately lower piice than anything that can be imported. But, in esptsetive of all these advantages, it is to tho 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 sections of the community.
