" The Watorbury Watch Co
"Gentlemen, — 1 have great pleasure in -bearing testimony to the exceptionally good qualities of the Waterbury Watch. JTor the last few weeks I have carried one of these Watches,' and am now thoroughly convinced, of its value as a reliablo limekeeper. It> is not a'mere toy, as the price would seem to indicate', but a strong, durable .article. As a proof of this I may state thab a day or two ago'l "was outriding, when my horse took fright and threw me lieavily against the saddle, which came in contact with the' * Waterbury' in my pocket. The violence" of the "concussion would have broken an ordinary gold or silver watch, and of cbiirseX expected to find id smashed, bub was surprised to find ib had »iob sustained any derangement whatever. I cao with conlidencc recommend it) to all requiring a stvong, accurate watch for si little nionoy.
" Yours faitlifnlly, •VWAI,TELv DENOATE."

In lacti, hud J ffiveu tour or five pounds for an ordinary silver watch, it could not have been more accurate. In appearance it is all thab can be deaired, and auy ons ignorant of its cost.'luiglib misbake ib for am article costing JO times as much. 1 would advise all those in scorch of a cheap, strong limoIceepor to purchase a Watorbury Watch.
