STRAIGHT GOODS.

It is a mistake to suppose that the Waterbury is a machine with a mainspring as long as a bad dream, and a case suitable for a digger's frying pan- This might, nerhaps, *"be said of the one that saved Valentine in "'Fausfc up to Date," but the Waterburv of to-riay is of many kinds and varie&ated complexion. Wheu we are in a sportive mood we put a «addle and a jockey on him and land a Grand National, or when we wish to do the conventional ac a wedding or a birthday party we select a " Misses Waterbary, little larger than a florin, and gain at once the good graces of the recipient. For boy 3 and men greater bulk and less ornamentation is provided, but the movements in every case are those of t.ha trusty "Waterbury, synonymous with correct time; and the variety of casing—gold, silver and nickel —which a range of" price from 13s 6d to 3 guinea permits, is ample enough to satisfy the most, exaoriijpe. The new Waterburys will bear critical inspection, and a visit to our agents may result iv a saving of many pounds. The day of gaudy, expensive timekeepers is over, and the Waterbury reigns. Beware of substitution. Many sharks exist, and there is quite a demand for vvaterbury boxes, which, when containing a trashy imitation, frequently delude buyers.
