A Short Sketch of its History and Development. *• »nd they tew d fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” Doubtless in the construction of this, the first recorded ginneat of mankind, a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistress Adam must have tf ought it a great improvement on th -suit of bareskin which had hitherto done duty for dinner and evening dress. It was *00:1 found, however, to be hut a poor protection against climatic changes, and was succeeded by the leas ornamental, but more serviceable, suit of sheepskin, As the mental faculties developed, the desire for outward adornment rapidly spread, and ever since dress has played an important part in, and exercised a wonderful influence upon the destinies of men. Had we the time and money, we might trace its development throngo successive ages; the gorgeous robes of the kings and priests of old, the stately Roman toga, the quaint costumes of the Tudors, the silk and lace extravagance of the Georgian era might each be touched upon, but as in this connection we have to pay for our whistle, we can, only notice the latest and most scientific development, which is GOOLD AND SON’S 70s Tweed Suit, admitted by all who have seen them to be a marvel of cheapness, combined with artistic excellence. We beg to inform the late patrons of Mr Turner that we are in possession of his order books and special patterns of the last fifteen years.

COACH CAN PROCURE Th MODERN AND WHERE YO BUILDING! : GEXUINB ARTICLE.

Women, it is said, are responsible for the introduction of carriages as ft moans of conveyance. In ancient timea, among the Romans and Greek?, it meant a conf< rsioa of physical weakness for men to ride in a vehicle, but they were largely used by their mistresses. England followed Rome in adopting wheeled vehicles as a fashionable means of conveyance, and in Paris their use was prohibited for many years, until 1550, in order to preserve the identity of good women. However, nothing has retarded the free use of all kinds of vehicles during the past few centuries. Originating in the chariot, they have assumed innumerable shapes to day, and mafy be counted by millions. It is now more fashionable, especially in large cities, to drive than to walk or ride, while in the carrying on of trade, vehicles of various kinds are simply indispensable. A few years ego the coach, and carriage building in Southland received a great impetus, necessitating the employment of a laige number of tradesmen. Just about that time the City Coach Factory was started in Ksk street, Invercargill, by Messrs W.ddowsoti and Fogarty, two enterprising young men horn Clfriatchurch. They ware trained as wheelwright and coachbuilder and smith respectively, in the shop o? Messrs Curlett and Freeman, the leading coachbuilders in the colony. By the work they have turned out they have proved themselves to be first-class tradesmen. Among the two and four-wheelers they have made are a number of station waggons and dog and dai y carts which have given every satisfaction,, while they have testimonials in their possession from many of their patrons, including one from Messrs Kiugsland and Ferguson for a Washington ear hoarse, one of the finest hearsss in use in the colony. It. has a landau bottom, and is mounted and finished as it would be in a leading London shop. Au illustration is given on this page of one of their latest—a four-wheeled dog cart, considered to be a great improvment upon the ordinary waggonette. This is the first of Hie kind that has been made in Southland, and is built upon the same lines as one supplied to Lord Glasgow in Christchurch some time ago. Notwithstanding the cry of dull times Messrs Widdowson and Fogarty have been kept "oing with work, and guarantee to give satisfaction to all who appreciate first-class work at a moderate price, and give them a call. =?= □ TT^z V SSS Four-wheeled Do# Cart Built toy “Widdowson and Fogarty, Agents for Lake County: MESSRS W.
