Doubtless in the construction of this, the first recorded garment of mankind, a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed aud Mistress Adam must have ought it a great improvement on the suit of bareskin which had hitherto done duty for dinner and evening dress. It was soon 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 we the time and money, we might trace its development through successive ages; the gorgeous robos 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 the latest and most scientific development, which is GOOLI) AND SON’S 70s - Tweed Suit, admitted by all who have seen them to be a marvel of cheapness, combined with artistic excellence.

COACH BUILDING 1 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 meant a confession of physical weakness for men to ride in a vehicle, but they were largely used by their mistresses. England followed Rome iu adopting wheeled vehicles as a fashionable means of conveyance, and in Paris their use was prohibited for many years, until 1.150, in order to preserve the identity of good women. However, nothing has retarded the free use of all kiuds 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 the carrying on of trade, vehicles of various kinds are simply indispensable. A few years t’go the coach and carriage building in Southland received a great impetus, necessita ting the employment of a huge number cf tradesmen. Just .about that time the City Coach Factory was started in Ksk street,. Invei cargill,. by Messrs W.ddowaou and Fogarty, two enterprising young men trom Christchurch. They were trained as wheelwright and coach builder and smith respectively, in the shop of Messrs Curlett and Freeman, the leading coaohbuilders in the colony. By the work they have turned out they have proved themselves to be first-cl-iss tradesmen. Among the two aud four-wheelers they have made arc a number of station waggons and dog and tiai 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 ear hearse, one of the finest hearses in use in the colony.. It has a landau bottom, and is mounted and finished as it would be in-a leading London shop. An illustration is given on this page of one of their latest—a four-wheeled dog cart, considered to be a great improvment upon tlie ordinary waggonette. This is the first of the 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 going with work, and guarantee to give satisfaction to all who appreciate first-class work at a moderate price, aud give them a call.
