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 bo 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 wich 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 strict attention to business, and by the exefcise 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. ■PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED.

It is admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the best judges of S Ij: WING MACHINES. Please Bead Theib Opinions, viz., Tjhe New Wheeler and Wilson has more thaii realised our expectations as t 6 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.— Beath, 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 Wheeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction.

'Che new Straight Needle .Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tir,3 and weary the feet. It is evident that thiji rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much less friction than the shjittle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more an;d 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 ilvertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to he health of the operator.
