PROGRESS IN CIVILISATION.
Nature never makes a mistake. Whatever material is at hand is turned to the b.sfc use. Man, the creation of Nature, follows in her footsteps, and steadily seeks a higher plane by rejecting the less worthy, and selecting that at his command which is the mosti practical. This progress in civilisation is marked in all details of life, and particularly in the different apparatus or mechanical contrivances for evory-day contingencies. One by one the less fitting drop out, or are literally crowded aside by those offering superior advantages. Steam had superseded sail. The old time horological contrivances aro pushed to the rear by the newer, Isss costly, and more reliable appliances of today. To-day the public demand economy, combined with quality, honestly, and accuracy, and in all these particulars tho Waterbury watches "fill tho bill," and thereby have gained respect and admiration in every quarter ot the earth as honest, reliable, and faithful timekeepers, produced at as low a cost as is compatib'' "'vth good material, skilful workmans_/ v , !_.« their undoubtedly excellent qualiucationa.
