FROM THE " SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS " Printed by Fergtjssoj* and Mitchell During the Fete in aid of the Bonevolent Asylum, on the Premises of Mewrs. Guthrie and Larnach, May 24, IS7O. pjUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HA.LLENSTEIN BROS., 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 impoitation of English clothing, intend opening an extensive Retail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodious premises at the comer of the Octagon and Pri.,ce» street, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27. Thia branch mil be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurensou, and uuder the supervision of Air. B. Hallenstein, the head of the 2* w Zealand firm. Messrs Hallenstein Bros under the management of Mr Anderson a partner in the wholesale and factory branch, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-batf years ago. They commenced on a comparatively small scale • at present, they employ between 200 and 300 hands. They have had to overcome many difficulties and much prejudice, but now their gooda.aa will be seen fiom the ships' manifests, are being sent to ail parts of New Zealand. In Dunedin only they have found persistent opposition on the part of the larger houses who are glutting this market with imported goods aud, no doubt, the retailers find it to their advantage to push these in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, in order to do so effectively, they have determined to sell a siuglo 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 tho cash principle, ana all goods must be paid for ou delivery, but any article not found suitablo may be exchanged, or the inonej returned. Aa will be seen from the garments presented by the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited in this building, they are superior in style and quality, and at a proportionately lower price than anything that can be imported. But ii respective ot all these advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to support an industiy which employs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all sections ol the community.
