Doubtless in the construction of this, the first recorded garment of mankind, a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistress Adam musVhave l) ought it a great improvement on the suit of bareskin which had hitherto done duty for dinner and evening dress. It was scan found, however, to be but a poor protection against climatic changes, and was succeeded by the less 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 wc the time and money, we might trace its development through successive ages ; the gorgeous robes of the kings and priests of old, the stately Jloman toga, the quaint costumes of the Tudors, the silk and lace extravagance of the Georgian era might each he 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. • Wc 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. .

AND WHERE YOU CAN PROCURE THE GENUINE ARTICLE. Women, it is said, are responsible for the introduction of carriages as a means of conveyance. In ancient times, among the Romans and Greeks, it mv-aut a confession of physical weakness for men to rido 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 may be counted by millions. It is now more fashionable, especially in large cities, to drive than to walk or ride, while in tire carrying on of trade, vehicles of various kinds arc simply indispensable. A few yearssgo the coach and carriage building in Southland received, a great impetus, necessitating the employment of a large number of tradesmen. Just about that tima the City Coach Factory was started in Esk street, Invercargill, by Messrs W.ddowaou and Fogarty, two enterprising young men from Christchurch.' They were trained as wheelwright and coachbuilder and smith respectively, in the shop of 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 num.oer of station waggons and dog and cai-y carts which have given every satisfaction, while they have testimonials in their possession from many of their patrons, including one from Messrs Kingsland and Ferguson for a Washington car hearse, one of the finest hearses in use in the colony. It has a landau bottom, and is mounted and finished as it would bo in a leading Lonaon shop. An illustration is given on this page of one of their latest—a four-wheeled dog earl, considered to be a great improvmeut upon the ordinary waggonette. This is the first of •‘he kind that has been made in Southland, and is built upon the same lines as one supplied to Lord Glasgow in Christchurch some lime ago. Notwithstanding the cry of dull times Messrs Widdowson. and Fogarty have been kept going with work, and guarantee to give satisfaction to all who appreciate first-class work at a moderate price, and give them a call.
