mo THE PUBLIC OF AUCKLAND. There is much being made iust now by some persons in the Clothing Trado about supporting Local Industry, but SAMUEL COOMBES Challenges any House in the Trade to Shew that they Employ as Much Local Labour as he docs (that i 3 Auckland Labour), and Money spent elsewhere than in Auckland might almost ss well be spent in London, as far as we in Auckland are concerned. Samuel Goombes MAKES THE BULK OF THE CLOTHING HE SELLS! In fact, the Balk of the CLOTHING SOLD at tho CITY CLOT HI N G MA R T is Manufactured on the Premises ! Tho only important exception being Geelong Tweed, or Avbtuauan Tweed Goods, which arc manufactured in Melbourne, and as SAMUEL COOMES Has made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling- him to sell them Much Under Wholes >■ _k Ppicbs ! i 1 The 27s 6d and 30s being fully 20 per cent, under what a much inferior article would co3t in any Wholesale House. £_r One Trial will suffice to prove this fact.
