THE WATERBURY WATCHES Have derived their reputation of being RELIABLE TIMEKEEPERS from the myriads of grateful purchasers who have satistied themselves that they Are fully up to the standard of excellence fcfcined by the makers, they are STRONG, HANDSOME, SERVICEABLE, TfrjSLL-FINISHED WATCHES, and fat more reliable than half of tne j^wellediallover-patent-half-cock-go-as-you-ple\s«-back-actiou chronographs of the day. Genuine testimonials as to their worth can be produce! by the thousand. Messrs 'inoMSON Baos., storekeepers, Cordillera,U.S. W., wrice:—"lt gives'us great pleastuv in stating that out of 100 watches soli by us only one has ever been returned, and this one was afterwards proved to hft,ve had unusually rough treatment. Wβ can strongly recommend the., Waterburj as a cheap and honest watch." John C. Trec&.wnky, Esq., Maidenhead ecation, Teoterfleld, writes :—" Havinu had a practicaiacquaintauce with your watches for neariy five years, I beg to testify to their invtriable accuracy in recording time. The paucity of the Englisii language fails to furnish mc with terms adequate to express my high approval of them." Lieut. Wμ. WADDitotE, R.N.R., Commauder of the R.M.S. Iberia, says:—"l beg to state that 1 have carried with mc for the past two years one of your shortwinding Waterbury Watcbes. It has proved a most reliaole timekeeper, and I find it most useful at sea, HA moving its hands does not seem to affect its accuracy." A batter proof of the known excellence of the Waterbury Watches couki not be wished for than the fact that many unprincipled dealers attempt to palm off on the unwary inferior imitations as "as good as," or " better than the "Wa.tbkbury."

Purchasers should note that no watch sold as a Waterbury is genuine without it has the word Waterbury printed in fine type upon its dial face, and also the interlaced letters W.W.Co. The geuuUi? articles may be obtained from auyleading respectable dealer or storekeeper throughout the colony.
