Printed by FerousSox and Mitchell During the Fete iii aid of the Bsnevolent Asylum, on the Premises o Messrs. Guthrie and Laruach, May 24, 1576. f\UB. LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of some of the large ni.uiufaetiuers 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 put pose, they luvr fitttd up commodious premises at the con.er of the Octagon 'and Princes st reet, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 2". This branch »\ill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, and under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs H.ille-jstein Bios., under the management of Mr Anderson, a ( paituer in the wholesale and factory biauch, staited the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy about two and a-ha!f yeai-s ago. They coini menced 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 fiom the ships' n-anifests, are being sent to all paits of New Zealand. In Dnnedin only they have found peisistent opI position on the part of the larger houses who , are glutting this market with imported goods, and, no doubt, the retaileis find it to their ad1 -vantage to push these in preference to local ! manufactures. The proprietors of the New , Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very I judiciously decided to introduce their manu • I faotures uirect to tl.e large cousumiug pofmlation of Dunediu : and, in order to do bO effee- , ti\ ely, they have determined to sell a single gaiment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plaiu 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 v ill be seen from the garments presented by I the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of I the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited in thi3 building, they are superior in style and quality, and at a propoitiouately lower pii c, than anything that can be imported. But, iriespectne of all these advantages, it is to the inteiest of everyone to support an iudustry which emplojs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all section* of the community.
