THE Three little maids from school are we. Proper and good as we ought to be; The reason why you will shortly see; Three little maids from school. Three little maids, delighted very, Laughing always so bright and merry; Every one with a " Waterbury j” Three little maids from school. Time is money. But before the Waterbury Watch was introduced it was impossible to say how much. Now everybody knows that Time is 13s 6d. The great popularity of the Waterbury Watch is still further enhanced by the fact that it can be repaired at a less cost than any other watch in the world. The Waterbury Watch is not alone the cheapest watch in the world to buy, but it is also the cheapest to have repaired. Repairs are charged for according h requirement, but in no case do they exceed half-a-crown, except by mutual agreement. The Waterbury Watch has nothing to fear from ridicule, nothing to dread from exposure. It is just what it claims to be—a strong, handsome, serviceable, well-finished timekeeper, and defies competition. The Waterbury Watch is ruining the profession of pickpocket. He has to expend just as much skill on the annexation of a Waterbury as he does on a 100-guinea gold chronometer. But its intrinsic value is so small that he cannot realise. It won’t melt. E.
