Gentlemen's Ready-Made Colonial I Clothing.—Hood and Shennan, corner of Tees and Itchen streets, Oamaru, have the largest stock of Gentlemen's Colonial Clothing 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.— ]Vr,v T .] 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, Draper, Tailor, and Boot and Shoe Importer.— [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 wiJl 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. It. C Lindsay, and under the personal supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs. Hallenstein Bros., umler the management of Mr. Anderson, started the New Zealand | Clothing Factorj- about three years ago. The}' commenced on a comparatively small scale, but at present they employ between 300 and 400 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 }iew 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 1 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, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to everyone in the community.—[Advt.]
