A FIVE MILLION SUM.
Boys or girls with a hankering aftet a watch can easily persuade their parents t part the necessary 13s 6d by the following simple plan :—Every parent, of either lender, has profound respect for mathematical computations and difficult arithmetical calculations. Now the Waterbury Watch Company turned out for three years 900 complete v/utches a day, 312 days to the year-the following three years, the demand having increased to such an extent, 1,050 per day was their output; whilst for the last four years 1,230 complete and guaranteed reliuble Waterbury Watches have left'tKeir factory on each working day. Any juveiile can persuade his daddy to offer one of tfese really reliable watches as an inducement ; for him to work out the total output for the ten years of their existence. It is easy, although it does nob look it, and the chances ar« a a hundred to one that if he makes a mistake in the figuring his pater will never take the trouble to check it.
