BEYOND COMPETITION.

The Waterbury Watches take front rank as " the timekeepers of the day." The are not "English levers" made in Geneva, and puffed Into notoriety to enforce sales and ensure disappointment. The factory, which is now turning out i over half a million of these watches per annum—a production larger than that of any other watch company in the worldis still unable to keep pace with the demand, and has now extended its operations into the very heart of the cheap watch-making territory on the continent of Europe, where it successfully competes with these "English levers' on equal terms. These are no idle boasts, but stubborn facts, and we challenge tho refutation of tnese assertions. The Waterburys (series E, J and L) are only nickel plated watches sold at a low figure, but they get their reputation from live purchasers, and not the owners of dead stock. They are far more reliable timekeepers than half of tho jewelled-all-over-patent-halfcock-go-as-you'please-back-accion-hair • triggercompensated • lock - 3tltch - burglar • baits made in Switzerland and Germany, and Rold as English levers. Tho Waterbury Watches have nothing to fear from ridicule, no dread of exposure. They are simply what they claim to be, and defy competition. These world - famed and time • tried watches may be obtained from any respectable dealer or storekeeper throughout the colonies. Prices—Series E, the old favorite, 13s 6d ; Series J (gents* size) and L (ladles' Bize), the new short-wind-ing, stem-winding, and setting marvels, 22s 6d each. No watch sold as a Waterbury Is genuine, without the word Watebbury and the ioterwoveu letters W. W. and Co. printed In fine type upon its dial face. Wholesale agents for Canterbury—Messrs E. Reec? and Co., and Ashby, Bergh and Co., Christchurch.
