There is much being made iust now by some persons in the Clothing Trade about supporting Local Industry, but SAMUEL COOMBES Challenges any House in the Trade to Shew that they Employ as Much Local Labour as he does (that is Auckland Labour), and Money spent elsewhere than in Auckland might almost as well be spent in London, as far as we in Auckland are concerned. Samuel Ooombes MAKES THE BULK OF THE CLOTHING HE SELLS 1 In fact, the Bulk of the CLOTHING SOLD at the CITY CLOTHING MART is Manufactured on the Premises I The only important exception being Geelono Tweed, or Australian Tweed Goods, which are manufactured in Melbourne, and as SAMUEL COOMES Has made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling him to sell them Much Lnder Wholesale Ppioes 11! The 27s 6d and 303 being fully 20 per cent, under what a much inferior article would cost in any Wholesale House. US' One Trial will suffice to prove this fact. In the TAILORING DEPARTMENT, samuel:coombes Has Completed, since Jthel 29th of May, 1878 4726 Measurements ! These Figures Bpeak for themselves. JUST OPENED: 200 GALATEA JACKETS, 10/6.

Because he. has no heavy City Rates, Water Rates, &c, to pay, but is under a very nominal rent. 3rd. Because he is always able to meet his bills before they are due (taking the discount), and is, therefore, in a position to Purchase Goods on the samp terms as the Largest Establishments in Auck land.
