FR THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS, { Printed by Fehgusson ani> Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Banevolent Asj am, on the Premises o Messrs. Guthrie and Laruach, May 24, 187(5. Z^vUK LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLBNSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clotriing Factory, following the example of some of the large manufacturers 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 luanufaotures, ■ 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 uill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurenson, arid under the super\ision of Mr. B. Hallensteiu, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs ILUleustein Bros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a partner m the wholesale and factory branch, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-ha!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 seenfiom the ships' lr.ardfests, are being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In Dunediu 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 retailers find it to their ad■vantageto push these in pieference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, theiefore, very judiciously decided to intioduce their nianu fdctures uirect to the laige consuming population of Dunedin : and, iv Older to do so effectively, they have determined Co sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked m plain figures on every article, from which no abatement « ill 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 uhe garments presented by the New Zealand Clothing factory in aid of the 13ei^ olent Asylum, and now exhibited in this buildin;, they are superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately lower pri c, than anything that can be imported. But, inespective of all these advantages, it is to the mteiest of evenone to support au industiy which employs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all sections of the community.
