PROM THE ' SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS,' Printed hy Fekgitsson and Mitchell, During the Fete in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Messrs Guthrie and Larnach, May 24, 187 G. f\TJB, LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSES HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing 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 manufactures. For this purpose, they have fitted up commodious premises at the corner of the Octagon and Princes-Street, Dunedin, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27. This branch will be under the immediate management of Mr Laurenson, and under the supervision of Mr B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs Plallenstein Bros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a partner in the wholesale and factory branch, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-half 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 from the ships' manifests, are being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In Dunedin 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 advantage to push these in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factory have, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures direct to the large consuming population of Dunedin ; and, in order to do so effectively, they have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to b« marked in plain figures on every article, from which no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted s^.rictiy on the cash principle, and all goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article not found suitable may bo exchanged, or the money returned. As will be 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 price, 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 labor, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all sectipus of the community,
