ROM THE "SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS.] Printed by Fergusson and Mitchell During th Fete in. aid of the Benevolent As) lam, on the Premises of Messrs. Guthrie and Larnach, May 24, 1876. /AUR LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Faotoiy, following the example of some of the large manufacturers at Home, and more especially with a. •view of preventing the importation of English clothing, intend opening an extensive Uctail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodious premises at the corner of the Octagon 'and Princes st reet, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27. This branch >\ill be under the immediate management of Mr. Laurensou, and under the supervision of Mr. B. Hallenstein, the head of the New Zealand firm. Messrs H.illenstein Bros., under the management of -3lr Anderson, a piutuer in the wholesale and factory branch, started the New Zealand Clothing Factory about two and a-ha'f years ago. They commenced ou 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 goods, as will be seen fiorn theshipa' manifests, ai'e being sent to all parts of New Zealand. In Dunetliu only they have found persistsnt opposition on the part of the larger houses who aie glutting this market with imported goods, and, no doubt, the letaileis find it to their ad■\autageto push these in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to iutioduce their manufactures uireot to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, in Older to do so effectively, they have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling pi ice is to be marked in plain figures on every article, fiom which no abatement will be made. The business is to be conducted strictly on the cash principle, ana all goods must be paid for ou delivery, but any article not found suitable may be exchanged, or the monej returned. Ai v ill be seen from the garments preseuted by the New Zealand Clothing Factory in aid of the Benevolent Asylum, and now exhibited in this building, they are supeuor in style .and quality, .uid at a proportionately lower pii c, than anything that cau be imported. But, in eapective of all these advantages, it is to the int.'iest of evei.\one to support an industry vlnch employs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, meiuhant, and to all sections of the community.
