" Weil, my dear," he replied, " I've been drawing a conveyance all day.'' '•Don't like that," said Brown, comingout of a cheap Nassau-stieet restaurant; " the fellows warm the knives in their mouths before sticking them into butter." "Yes," replied .Johnson, "that's bad; but this is a world of compensations—you may be certain that your f.uk has never been in anybody's mouth before !'' 0 It says something for the Jlosgiel Woollen Factory when a window in one of the leading warehouses in the chief city in New Zealand | can be decked out completely with its manufactures That .--itch can be done in a way that can challenge the attention and command the admirauon <f customers lias been demonstrated by Brown, Kwing, and Co., of !

The sides of the window are draped with hosiery, Crimean shirts, and other articles made up on the premises from the products of the Factory. If we are not mistaken, this is the first time in the Colony that the window of a leading retail warehouse has been decorated exclusively with an assortment of Colonial woollen manufactures, and exhibition is certainly one that does infinite credit to the way in which this important branch of Colonial industry is being developed.— [Ad vt.] 22

Value for Money.—As a rule, nineteen people out of every twenty believe in getting value for their money, and as a reminder to those who are about to furnish their houses, replenish their wardrobes, or invest in a, sewing machine —for adornment, convenience, or comfort, they should go, or send, to J. H. Milligan's Waitaki House, Thames-street, Oamaru, where they will find the above adage carried out.—J. H. Milligan, Milliner, 0 Draper, Tailor, and Boot and Shoe Importer.— [Advt.]

Gentlemen's Ready-Made Colonial Clothing.—Hood and Shennan, corner of Tees and Itcben streets, Oamaru, have the largest stock of Gentlemen's Colonial Clothiug'in the north of Otago, and unsurpassed for cheapness and durability. Working men and others will find this a safe and reliable establishment to make their purchases. Every article of genuine quality, and their stock is free of all goods of a doubtful or jobbish character. One price asked. — [Advt.] Our New Zealand Industries.—Messrs. Hallenscein Bros., manufacturers and wholesale warehousemen, of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of Some of the large manufacturers at Home, and more especially with a view of preventing the importation of English clothing, are opening extensive retail establishments in. the large centres of population. For this purpose they have lately fitted up commodious premises in Messrs. Shrimski and Moss' buildings, Thames-street, where the sale of their manufactures will be thrown open direct to the public of Oamaru. This branch, which will be opened on Saturday April 7, will be under the immediate manage ment of Mr. 11. C. Lindsay, and under the personal supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs. Hallenstein Bros., under the management of Mr. Anderson, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about three years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale, but at present they employ between :>UO and 40U people. They had to overcome many diiiicukies, and much prejudice, and especially the persistent opposition ou the part of the larger houses, glutting this market with imported goods, and no doubt the retailers found it to their advantage to push these in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factory''have therefore judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures direct to the large consuming population of New Zealand, and in order to do so effectually, they have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plain figures on every article, from which no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly on the cash principle, and all goods must be paid for on delivery, but any article not found suitable may 'be exchanged, or the money returned. As will be seen from the garments exhibited, the public will now be able to choose from the largest stuck of men's, vouths', and boys' clothing, superior in style and qualitv, and at a proportionately 1 nver pr.ee to anything that c:tu be imported. But, irrespective of all these, advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to support an industry which employs New Zealand labor, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to everyone in the community. —[Advt.] Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Dangerous Chest Complaints.—The enumeration of these diseases is scarcely as, unfortunately, most Englishmen know them to their cost. Cough:-, common colds, influenza, bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, inflammation or the lungs, and even consumption in its early stages, are succe-sfully treated bv rubbing Holloway's Ointment upon the chest and upon the back between the shoulders. It penerates internally, checks the cold shiverings, relieves the over - gorged luii"S. oraduaily removes oppression from the chest! and restores the obstructed respiration hitherto both distressingly disagreeble and hio-hlv dangerous. In treat ng this class of diseases, Holloway's Fills should always be taken while using his Ointment; they punry the blood, promote perspiration, and allay dangerous irritations.
