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, Sohiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West.



For Hat Binding and Gap 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 & Go., 50, Princess street, Dunedin. We use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Eoorioirhy, TEffioiancy »ria*Spo«a,~ 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 y 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 Wheeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction. I consider it a better machine for work than any other I have tried.— Peter Stewart, Draper, Great King street, Dunedin.

BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The 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.

pjpHE FUTURE OF NEW ZEAL AN I. Ab the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on th 0 support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancbed 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 wish 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 be imported, they feel confident that, by 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.
