the latter a double economy, namely, the profit of the wholesale dealer, and the more considerable one of the retail dealer, amounting to from 5s to i-10 upon a single watch. Retail watch-dealers and jewellers, usually selling but a few watches daily, are j'orced to make an extraordinaiw profit upon each one sold in order to defray their general expenses. We manufacture as our speciality only sterling silver or gold stem-winders (keyless watches.) The keyless mechanism of watches is one of the most important and useful inventions of modern times. Instead of fumbling in one's pocket to find the key, whicn when found is most always filled with dust—this of course being transferred to the watch —one has but to turn a knurled button fitted to the pendant (or ring) thus winding the watch and regulating the bands by the same means. Our watches are everywhere recognised to bo the best in the market, surpassing all others by the precision of their movements as well as by their accuracy and cheapness. Our factory, since its foundation in 1852 has acquired a world-wide reputation, and obtained the highest awards from all the important Exhibitions. No watch leaves our factory without having been carefully examined and verified, thus being ready for immediate use. Each one is put up in an elegant silk lined case, and accompanied by a warranty for three years. The buyer may return any of our watches within six months should the latter not afford him tho most complete satisfaction. All articles sold are delivered post free, and custom duty paid to any part of the world, thus without the slightest trouble or formality to tho receiver. All the repairs during the three years of guarantee are executed gratuitously, if the watch be forwarded to our London office. Tho following are cash prices without discount. £ s. A.
