"GIBSONIA"
All Australian Dress Fabrics
AUSTRALIAN IN RAW MATERIAL, DESIGN, WORKMANSHIP, AND GOOD TASTE. The wide range of designs and colour combinations are the work of our own expert designers. The Weft and Woof are spun by our own Spinning Plant, and the Fabrics are woven on the most perfect looms human ingenuity has ever produced. The result is a most notable and attractive selection of ALL AUSTRALIAN FABRICS. Twelve months ago the condition forced upon us by the exigencies of the war, the uncertainty of shipping, and the difficulty of obtaining supplies of materials from Great Britain made it necessary for us to consider the problem of producing in Australia New Weaves, Textures, and Colours in Dress and Suiting Fabrics, to fill the place of many goods hitherto imported into the Commonwealth from England and the Continent. We have the Goods here, at prices within the reach of all. In the new range, many novel features and colours, and entirely new designs have been introduced, and to -day we have on sale over 100 distinct weaves, patterns, and colourings in GIBSONIA DRESS FABRICS, making a most desirable selection of ALL AUSTRALIAN MATERIALS, marking a new epoch in the progress of Australian Production. These ALL AUSTRALIAN DRESS FABRICS are obtainable at prices far below imported goods. We cannot guarantee supplies throughout the entire season. Our present stocks are ample for present demands. We would, however, recommend our clients to secure their supplies early, while our assortments are complete. We shall be pleased to forward samples of Gibsonia Dress Materials on request.
