PATTERNS SENT TO ANY' POSTAL ADDRESS. ART AND STYLE IN DRESS. A Short Sketch of its History and Development. “ And they eew d fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” Doubtless in the construction of this, the first recorded garment of mankind, a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistress Adam must have tl 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 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 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 wa are in possession of his order books and special patterns of the last fifteen years.

Streets, Invercargill, MODERN COACH BUILDING! AND WHERE YOU CAN PROCURB THE GENUINE ARTICLE. ,

Women, it ia 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 in adopting wheeled vehicles as a fashionable means of conveyance, and.in Paris their use was prohibited.for many years, until 1559, 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 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 large number of tradesmen. Just about that time the City Coach Factory was started in Eak street, Invc: oargill, by Messrs W.ddbwson and Fogarty, two enterprising young men Irom 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 bo first-cl iss tradesien. Among the two and four-wheelers they have made are a number of station waggons and dog and cai-y carts which have given every satisfaction, while they have testimonials in their possession from miny of their patrons, including one from Messrs Kiugslaud and Ferguson for a Washington car hearse, one of the finest hearses in use in the colony. It lias's landau bottom, and is mounted and finished as it would be in a leading London shop. sidcrod kind Lord Glasgow in Christchurch some time ago. Notwithstanding the cry of dull times Messrs Widdowson ami 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. □ sssa^a?. 1 iSt Pour-wheeled Dog Cart Built lay Widdowson and Fogarty.
