There is much being made iust now by some persons in the Clothing Trade about supporting Local Industry, but SAMUEL COOMBE3 Challenges any House in ths 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 HK SELLS! In fact, the Bulk of the CLOTHING SOLD at the CITY CLOTHING MART is Manufactubed on the Premises ! The only important exception being Geelong Tweed, or Australian Tweed Goods, which are manufactured in Melbourne, and aa SAMUKL COOMES Has made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling him to sell them Much Under Wholesale Ppices !!! The 27s 6d and 30a beicg fully 20 per cent, under what a much inferior article would cost in any Wholesale House. S&" One Trial will sulSce to prove this fact. In the TAILORING DEPARTMENT, SAMUEL COOMBES Has Completed, since the 29th of Mar, 1577, 4726 Measurements ! These Figures speak for themselves. - JUST OPENED: 200 GALATEA JACKETS, 10/5.

"OARNELL BOROUGH GAZETTE. THE QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED HOW F. TOMLINSON, DRAPER. PARNEL L, "SELLS SO CHEAP ?" Ist. Because having had 17 years' experience in the Drapery Business, he has a very good idea of the Talue of Goods. 2nd. Because he has no beavy City Rites, "Water Rates, &c, to pay, but ia iinder a very nominal rent. 3id. Because he is alwajs able to meet his bills before they are due (taking the discount), and ia, therefore, in a position to Purchase Goods on the same terms aa the Largest Establishments in Auck land. Having an Unusually Large axd Well Assorted Stock, I am giving Extra Value for Money, as the STOCK MUST BE REDUCED, previous to . making necessary alterations for the SPRING TR^DE. F.
