IIALLENSTEIN BEOS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following tho example of some of the large nianufactureis at Home, and more especially -with a view of pi eventing the impoit.ition of English clothing, intend opening an extensive Retail .Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodions premises at the corner of the Octagon 'and Princes st reet, which are to be opened on Satin day, May 27. This branch nill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, aiid under the superMfaion of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand film. Messrs Halleastein 8r03., under the management of Mr Anderson, a paitnci-iu the wholesale and factory branch, staited the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two aud a-ha'f yeais 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 seenftoni the ships' manifests, aie being sent to all parts of New .Zealand. In Dnnediu only they have found peisistsnt opposition on the part of the larger houses who aic glutting this market with impoi ted goods aud, no doubt, the letaileis find it to their advantage to push these iv prefeienee to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to iutioduce their manufactures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, in older 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 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 fov on delivery, but. any article not found suitable may be exchanged, or the monej returned. As will bt) 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, and at a proportionately lower pii c than anything that can be imported. But) irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the inteiest of eveiyone 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.
