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 sewng machine—for adornment, convenience, or comfort, they should go, or send, to J. H. Milliga>-'s Waitaki House, Thames-street, Oamaru, where they will find the above adage carried out.—J. H. Milligan, Milliner, Draper, Tailor, and Boot and Shoe Importer.— [Advt.]

It says something for the Mosgiel 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 such can be done in a way that can challenge the attention and command the admiration « f customers has been demonstrated by Brown, Ewing, and Co., of Dunedin. They have decorated one of their tine plate-glass fronts in Princes-street, exclusively with Mosgiel fabrics in a way that demands something more than a passing notice. A more charming or inviting picture of all that can contribute to individual comfort during the winter season has rarely or never been presented to the public gaz ■. The foreground is filled with tweeds suitable for male attire of the latest and most fashionable patterns, while rising immediately behind are pieces of elegant woollen tartans intended for female costume- 1 , as free from loudness in color as they are chaste in design and comfortable in appearance. Above these again are tiers of blankets, white as driven snow, soft as swandown, and lustrous as silk —blankets, in fact, that are not to be surpassed either in purity of color or quality by anything ever-: mported from the old-esta-blished manufactories of England. Over the blankets and ascending to the ceiling are a fine collection of white and colored worsteds. The sides of the window are draped with hosiery, Crimean shirts, and other articles made up on the pi'emises from the products of the Factory. If we are not mistaken, this is the fii.st time in the Colony that the window of a leading retail warehouse has been decorated exclusively with an assortment of Colonial woollen manufactures, aud the exhibition is certainly one that does infinite credit to the way in which this important branch of Colonial industry is being developed.—[Advt.] 22 Our New Zealand Industries.—Messrs. Hallenstein Bros., manufacturers and wholesale warehousemen, of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of Some of the large manufacturers at Home, aud 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 management of Mr. 11. C. Lindsay, and under the personal supervision of Air. 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 000 and 4UO people. They had to overcome many difficulties, and much prejudice, and especially the persistent opposition on 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 stock of men's, youths', and boys' clothing, superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately 1 >wer price to anything that can be imported. But, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to support an industry -which employs New Zealand labor, aud 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 necessary, as, unfortunately, most Englishmen know them to their cost. Coughs, common colds, influenza, bronchitis, asthma, pleurisy, inflamm.ition of the lungs, and even consumption in its early stages, are successfully treated by 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 lungs, gradually removes oppression from the chest, and restores the obstructed respiration hitherto both distressingly disagreeble and highly dangerous. Iu treating this class of diseases, Holloway's Pills should always be taken while using his Ointment; they purify the blood, promote perspiration, and allay dangerous irritations. I
