And tho best way in which you can perpetuate the memory of the centennial year and the splendid opportunities afforded you for enjoying yourself at your own expense as well as paying your share of the reckoning for the tons of imported delicacies required to feed the " trusty and well-beloved " who govern you, is to
WATCH YOURSELF with a Waterbury. The price is only 13s 6d, and if you want the real thing you had better not attempt to buy one for less under tho assurance of the honourable and gifted seller that it is a REAL WATERBURY
•Must the same as the ones they advertise." Tho advantage of this caution will be apparent to you should any accident happen to your watch necessitating its repair. Then you will regret having been beguiled into the purchase of a watch below tho standard price of 13a 6d, when you discover that the agents only undertake to repair watches made at the Waterbury Factory, Connecti-' cut, for 6d, or not mors-'than 2s 6d in thei event of serious injury, not amounting to actual smash, or unless the watch has been opened and tampered with. This is the main reason why WATERBURY WATCHES THE WORLD, and tho best of all reasons why you should watch to see that you get tho real thing at) tho fair standard price of THIRTEEN AND SIXPENCE, and nothing short of it. There is no difficulty about it so long as you keep your eyes opeif. Yon can buy the Connecticut Waterbury Watch from any storekeeper or dealer in the colony for 13a 6d, or you can get it from E. PORTER AND CO., Qkeen-sibeet and Branches, Auckland.
