VICTORY AFTER Vtci^Rvr SfEWART DAWSON & CO. A"fn3gn_ent for the Defendants (Stewart, Dhwson and Co.) Those _.ro the words of Judge Stnith, and ■Sv-c-ry -hfelli'geht person knew it. That trade jealousy, however bitter, shall not be tolerated or taken Undue advantage of in our Law Courts 'is fully borne out in tho above verdict. Not even with tho presence of half the warch dealers of Aiicklniid In Court, and four of them used as witnesses (and without S. D. and Co. calling v single witness in defence) ■coiild they provfe or Substantiate a single charge imputed against S, 1). ■And Co., not ono of these witnesses . ever know if Ehrhardt had any Trade Mark whatever. But WHERE WAS BARTLETT (with his ahrow) that is the question we are continually being usked. Why didn't he go into the witness box and vindicate his aseertions ? We leave this question WITH THE PUBLIC TO ANSWER. " Let the galled jade wfcice " is an old saying, and we aro not so ungenerous ag to refuse our rivals an opportunity of expressing their snajmii and disappointment, and, shall we say, envy, nt our success in tho past. They haTe beon so accustomed to fabulous prices that, thoy would bo more than human not to resent intoference with their schemes; but just as the mountains stand unmoved amidst the most pitiless hailstorm, and just as the green hill sides are the moro luxuriant nftor a shower of rain, so stand we, STEWART DAWSON & CO., and can, without undue egotism, say— " That great as aro tho victories whose moments wo see, These aro but the dawn which speaks of noontide yet to be." The degree of success we havo already attained—without a parallel though not without rivals ; without an equal, though not without imitators ; without a poer, though with many competitors—would bo sufficient to satisfy firms contented to jog olontr on old systems. But Saving set beforo ourselves a very high ideal of what the watch trade ought to be, and which wo aro doterniined it shall bo, we will continue to push our reforming efforts vigorously to tho front. Confident in the strength of our position, and tho matchless character of our Watches, wo aro quite content to abide tho result.
