A WONDERFUL WATCH.

THE CORRECT TIME FOR THIRTEEN AND SIXPENCE.

Ono of tho chief signs of the progress of the asre in which wo live is tho rapid improvement of machinery, and it? tendoncy to cheapen tho requirements of modern lifo. Fifty years ago, for instanco, only a rich man could own a watch, and tho majority ot mankind wero obliged to calculate tho tiino by the sun's altitude, the villago dial in the old churchyard, or a generation further back, by tho hour-gifts?. To-day, however, the importance of time obtains a wider recognition—not only as i\ convenience or a luxury, but as tho abac luto oe-once of business, and n reliable timekeepor is a primary requisite aliko Of Mio merchant and his clerk, tho employer anrl tho employee, the Behoolmn«tor anil the pupil, the young and the old, the rich and the poor. A timepiece ot somo *or& is positively indispcnsablo Only n jewelled watch timed to split r.lto (seconds in a* luxury. A paod, serviceable, relinblo watch is 11 necessity—the first, requicitc of social find business life—and such n one i« the Watcrbury, the chenpost and most, reliable wntch in the world. The W'atorbury is ho cheap that everybody can afford to own ono. and its cheapness arises Imm tho supreme simplicity of its construction. Because it is cheap, however, don't romud it a* a toy or children's wntch. It is equal in appearance, finixh, and accuracy, to tho tno.it c* pensive biMclo. Hupotior i» Htrength and durability, and will cost less to repair than any other. The Waterbury is in every respect essentially tho watch for t.ho mechanic, tho clerk, the miner, tho bushman, tho working man—in a word, the watch for tho people, and is within tho reach of all.

Descriptively tho VVahCi'bnry is similar in oppenranco and fuo to Uio VVaitltinn — has n white dial, bevelled cryMfigl glass, .and is koylcns, 01 a ?roni winder : no fear ot losing r.ho key or loiviny jt< in ><nino other pockeh. Ah an evidence of tho value- and roliubiliiy ot thc^e splendid watches*, we 'irci now manufacturingl ovor thrcrt hundred tliou sand yearly, nil ot which arc regulated Hinl tested before leaving t lit: t.-tctory.

Do not be gulled by spurioun advertisements requiring you to noiid your money 10,000 milett t^way ; and wait wix months for tho [return ; or pay exorbitant prices and rates pf interest for ordinary watches on the time payment or club principles. Get your storekeeper or jewoller to obtain onp for you, and see what you uro buying before parting with your caah, and never be persuaded by the Hellers to buy any other on which he gets larger profits. We are manufacturing thro© hundred and ten thousand annually, all good timekeepers, handsome, accurate, and durable.
