A FIVE MILLION SUM.
Boys or girls with a hankering after a watch can easily persuade their parents to part the necessary 13s 6d by tie t Mlowing simple plan:—Every parent, of either gender, has a profound respect.for mathematical computations and dußcalt arithmetical calculations. Now the Waterbury Watch Company turned out for three to the year; the following three years, the demand having increased to such an extent, 1050 per day was their output; whilst for the last four years 1230 complete and guaranteed reliable Waterburv Watches have left their factory on each working day. Any juvenile can persuade his daddy to offer one of these really reliable watches as an inducement for him to work out the totai output for the ten ye»rs of their existence. It is easy, although it does not look it, and the chances are a hundred to one that if he makes a mistake in the figuring his pater will never take the trouble to check it.
