Craighead & Co.,



MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancrbd 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 be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources 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 hrge consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured fto 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 be 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.

BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The new Straight Needle Wheeler and Wisloi have no shuttles, they have no cogwl eels, they have no heavy gear to tire ai id weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilso;ti 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 5.,000 stitches per minute. I CADTIOiST.
