STRAIGHT GOODS.
— «. It is a mistake to suppose that the Waterbory is a machine with a mainspring as tongas a bad dream, and a case suitable for a digger's ims might, perhaps, 1» said of «c °nethat saved Valentine in "Faust up to Date but the Waterbury of to-day is of many kinds and variegated complexion. When { we are in a sportive mood we put a saddle . and a jockey on him and land a Grand | National, or when we wish to do the conventional at a wedding or a birthday party we select a Misses Waterbury, little larger than a florin, i and gain at once the good graces I of the recipient. For boys and men greater bulk and less ornamentation is provided, but the movements in every case are those of the trusty Waterbury, synonymous with correct time ; and the variety of casing—gold, silver and *»ckel —which a range of price from 13* 6 d to 3 guinea permits, is ample enough to satisfy the most exacting. The new Waterburys will bear critical inspection, and a visit to our agents may result in a saving of many pounds. Ibe day ot gaudy, expensive timekeepers is over, and the Waterbury reigns. Beware of substitution. Many sharks exist, and there is quite a demand for Waterbury boxes, which, when containing a trashy imitation, frequently delude buyers.
