FROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS " Printed by FCRGUSSON AND MITCHELL. During the Fete in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Meun. Guthrie and Laruaoh, , May 24, 1870. /"\UR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of some of the large raanufactureis 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 Princes street, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27. This branch «vill be under the immediate management of Mr. Ldurensoii, and under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallensteiu, the head of the New Zealand firm. Mesars Halleasteia Bros., \iuder the management of Mr Anderson, a partner in the wholesale and lactory 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 f ioiu the ships' manifests, are being sent to all parts of New Zealaud. In JJnnediu only they have found peraistant 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 iv preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their nianu • factures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, in oider to do ao 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 found suitable may be exchanged, or the uionej returned As ■will be seen from ihe garments presented by the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited in this building, they are supenor in style and quality, a.ud at a pioportionately lowei uiice, 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 the community.
