NO CHANGE.
In spite of the humane decision of a paternal Government to relieve us of another 11 per cent, of duty, the price of the "correct time," -Le., the Waterbury, will not be changed this season. The gentleman who longs for accurate time, and possesses the necessary thirteen and sixpence, can still walk into the establishment of our agents and demand a brand new Waterbury, and come away fully satisfied that he has secured the best timekeeper on earth for his money. The Waterbury is a plain nickle-cased watcli with a thoroughly reliable movement, and is built for use. "The man who spends ten times the money on a patent doublebarrelled Brummagem jewelled secondsplitting chronograph gets more glitter but less value, .and needs to make a contract with the jeweller to keep it in order for, say, a third of his income if he wants to be fairly near the time.
