rpHE FUTURE OF NEW ZEALAND. As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co, MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will he enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resourcss of New Zealand, but will also be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored with a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can bei imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and! fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.

MPORTANT FACTS FOE FAMILIES AND SEWING MACHIN ISTS. It admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the best judges of SEWING MACHINES. Please Read Their Opinions, viz., The New Wheeler and Wilson has more than realised our expectations as to speed, durability, and also in Economising Labor, our work people express a decided pre ference for them on account of the ease with which they are workeC.— Bbath, Schiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheeler and Wilson Machines are the best we have in use ; they do more work and require less labor than any others we have tried.—A. Masters & Co., 50, Princess street, Dunedin. We use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Economy, Efficiency and Speed, to any other we have tried.— l. and A. Don, Dressmakers, Duncan street, Dunedin. We have had Wheeler and Wilson Machines in use for the last three years ; we find them more suitable than any other machines and very durable.— Yates Sons & Co., Drapers, George street, Dunedin. ; I have pleasure in stating that the W r heeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction.

MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines —“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Wheeler and Wilson Maoh'NE, which performed the feat of sowing together all the parts of a pair of moleskin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and welL ” ONLY GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. TJie new Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much less friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute. CAUTION. Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to the health of the operator. Inspect the New Wheeler and Wilson ROTARY ACTION MACHINES • And judge for yourselves. They jrun by hand and foot, and are warranted to give entire satisfaction. TIME PAYMENTS. TIME PAYMENTS.
