A Short: Sketch of its History-and Development. “ And they sew-d fig leaves together, ami made themselves aprons.” Doubtless in the construction of this, the first recorded girmeut of mankind 1 , a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistress Alum must have t» ought it a great Improvement on the snit 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 theless 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 notice the latest and most scientific development, which is GOOLU AND SON’S, 70s Tweed Suit,, admitted by all who have seen them to be a marvel of cheapness, combined with artistic excellence.

Women, it is said, are responsible for the introduction of carriages as a means of con-, veyance. In ancient times, among the Romans and Greeks, it meant a confession of physical weakness for man to ride iu a vehicle, hut they were largely used by their mistresses. England followed Rome in adopting wheeled vehicles as a fashionable means of conveyance, andiin Paris their use was prohibited for many years, until li>3o, 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 eg® 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.ddowson and Fogarty, two enterprising young men trom Christchurch. They were trained as wheelwright and coachbuUder and.smith respectively, in the shop of Messrs Curlett and Freeman, the leading coachbuildera in the colony. By the work they have turned out they have proved themselves to be first-eliss 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 iu 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 improvmeut upon the ordinary waggonette.. This is the first of ‘he kind that has been made in Southland, aud is built upon the same lines as one supplied to Lord Glasgow, iu Christchurch some time ago. Notwithstanding the cry of dull times Messrs Wlddowson 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.
