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 girment of mankind, .A deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistress Adam must have ought it a great improvement oo the suit of bare skin which had hitherto done duty for dinner and evening dress. It was soaa 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 even since dress lias 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 t 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 cheapne-.s, combined with artistic excellence.

MODERN COACH BUILDING! 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 nu-ant 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, un til 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 the carrying on of trade, Vehicles of various kinds are simply indispensable. A few years ego th© 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 >vas started in Esk street, Invercargill, by Messrs W.ddowaon and Fogarty, two enterprising young men trom Christchurch. They were trained as wheelwright and coachbuilder and smith respectively, in the shop of Meaers Curlett and Freeman, the leading coach builders in the colony. By the work they have turned out they have proved themselves to be first-clsss tradesmen. Among the two and four-wheelers they have made are a number of station waggons and dog and dai - y carls which have given every satisfaction, while they have testimouials 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 be in a leading London shop. An illustration is given on this page of one of thoir latest—a four-wheeled dog cart, considered to be a great improvment upon-the ordinary waggo iette. This is the first of 4 he kind that has been made iu Southland, and is built upon tho 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, ami guarantee to give satisfaction to all who appreciate first-class work at a moderate price, and give ilium a call. u~7 & Ug as iZfr J ath S' Pour-wkesM Dog Cart Built by Widdowson and Fogarty.
