FROM THE ' SUPPLEMENTARY NEWS, Printsd by FfcItGUSSON AND MITCHELL. During th Fete iv aid "of the Benevolent As} him, on the Premises of Messrs. Guthrie and Laruach, May 24, 1870. (XUB, LOCAL INDUSTRIES. MESSRS. HA.LLENBTBIN BROS.. Of the New Zealand Clothiug Factory, followin; the example of some of the large manufacturers at Home, aud more especi<i lly with a view of preventing the importation of English clothiug, intend opening an extensive Retail Establishment for the sale of their manufactures. For this purpose, they havr fitted" up-commodious premises at the corner of the Octagon 'and Princes str. et, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27. This branch <%ill be under tho immediate management of Mr. Laurensoii, aud under the supervision of Mr. 1). Halleustein, the head of thd New Zealand firm. Messrs Ilsiileusteiu Dros., under the management of Mr Anderson, a partner iv the wholesale and factory branch, started tho New Zealand Clothing Fuctory about two aud a-ba!f years ago. They commenced ou a comparatively small scalo; at present, they employ between 200 aud 000 hands. They have had to overcome many difficulties and much prejudice, but vow their goods, us will be seeufiom the ships' n-anifeats, . are being scut to all parts of New Zealand. Iv ' 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 retaileis ft nditto their advantage to push these iv preference to local manufactures. The proprietors of the N<sw Zealand Clothing Factoiy have, tiiorefoiv. \ery judiciously decldeU'to iutioduce their manufactures uirect to the large consuming population of Dunedin : and, iv order to do so eft'eo ~ tively, they have determined to sell a tingle garment at the wholesale price. The set iv £ price is to be marked iv plain figures' on every article, from which no abatement wi\l be made. The business is to be couducted stryitly ou the cash principle, aud all goods must be paid for ou delivery, but auy article not found suitable may be exchanged, or the inonej retu »ned. As will bo seen from the garments prea eutcd by the New Zealand Clothing Factory /n aid of the Benevolent Asylum, and now ex l^ bited in this building, they are superior in s«yle and quality, and at a .proportionately lower .i 0, than anything that. van be inivortod, **|jtt6, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to et-he interest of everyone to support an iudusfcyy which employs local labour, and is a direct' beuefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mech.j nic, shopkeeper, merchant, and to all section * of the community. b
