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 be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will alsc be enabled to oiler 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 KATAFOI 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 exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction wdiich their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
