NEW ZEALAND MADE.

EXAMPLE OP LORD AND LADY BLEDISLOE. DEMAND FOR CLOTHING. . ■ / ■ (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Monday. V Lord. Bledisloe, the new GovernorGeneral,' is proving himself most tactful in winning the esteem and good will of the public. He does not merely inquire after the needs of the Dominion. Ho actually looks them up for himself, and when found he supplies them as fully as he can. He and Lady Bledisloe let it be known a little while ago th.it they were wearing garments grown, woven and made in New Zealand, and now people who recognise the significance and importance of this movement are following their Excellencies' lead. The president of the New Zealand Manufacturers 5 Association, speaking of the movement today, said there already Avere signs of a substantial turnover to local woollen 1 , goods and increasing inquiries for locally made accompaniments of such articles of wear and use. The manufacturers had good ground for hoping that the step taken by their Excellencies would not only immediately stimulate the inquiry for locally made goods; but also would increase the demands for Now Zealand productions abroad. ' It now remains for the manufacturers and the retailers to see that their part lof this effort is generously discharged.
