PROM THE 'SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS. Printed by Febgusbon and Mitchell During th Fete in aid of the Benevolent As) lam, on the Premises of Metsn. Qttthrio and Laroacb, May 24,*tt876, (\V& LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HALLENBTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, followin; 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 Retail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted up commodious premises at the cornet of the Octagon 'and Princes st net, which are to be opeued on. Saturday, May 27. This branch will beunder the immediate manage* ment of Mr. Laurenson, and under the super* vision of Mr. B. Hallenatein, the head of the New 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-ba'f years ago. They commenced on. a comparatively small scale; at present, they employ between 200 and 3flp hands. They have had to overcome many difficulties and much prejudice, but now their goods/as will be seen from the ships' manifests, are being sent to alt parts of New Zealand. la Duiiedin only they have found penisteat opposition on the part of the larger houses who are glutting this market with imported goods, and, no doubt, the retailers find it to their advantage to push these in preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Pactoiy have, therefore, very judiciously decided to introduce their manufactures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin ; and, in order to do so effectively, tiiey have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price is to be marked in plain figures on every arcicle, 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 inonej returned. As will be seen from t-lie garment:) 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 pii c, than anything that can be imported. But, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the interest of everyone to support an iudustry which employs local labour, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all section* of the community ■
