IN SHAKESPEARE'S DAY.
VVhen Shakespeare wrote, "Let every man be master of his own time," watches were only intended for the nobility; but, in these days, thanks to American ingenuity and perfect machinery, a strong, accurate, and reliable watch, in the shape of the Waierbury, has been produced at low cost, which every employer and employee who understands the importance of having good time, and tho pleasure and convenience of possessing a correct and trustworthy timepiece can afford to purchase. The testimony in favour of the Waterbury is overwhelming, and, like Tennyson's brook, is ceaseless, whilst its reputation is unrivalled by any other watch in the world. Mr R. G. Spear, 97, King-street, Newtowp, 11th June, 1889, writes; —"Having had in my possession one of your watches for two years I have much pleasure in stating that it has given me every satisfaction, and would recommend anyone that required a reliable timekeeper to purchase one," ; Mr John Robertson, of Mmmi, near Wallsend, writes:—"l have pleasure in stating that the Watorbury Watch Compauy has given mo every satisfaction with their watch, which I have had for a considerable time and found it to be a splendid timekeeper throughout, in all climates." Mr William Helps, Newtown, Sydney, June 25, 1889, writes: "This is to certify that I nave carried a YVaterbury Watch for the last three years, and ib has given jne every satisfaction as a timekeeper." The WATERBURY may bo OBTAINED - from any respectablo Storekeeper or Dealer.
