S. E. COOPER, ' WATCHMAKER & JEWELLER HASTINGS • STREET, NAPIER {Opposito the Union Bank, WATCHES ENGLISH WATCHES WATCHES, ' AMERIfIAN WATCHES, WATCHES, . GENEVA WATCHES TX7HEN the historian records tlio events Vt of tho nineteenth century ho wil describe it as tho era in which tlio mechanical arts reached thoir apox. As the poriodof ElizabotV is known to students ns tho tvKo of Htc\ature, tho present century, although also rcmarkablo for ito intellectual acumen, will bo chiefly remembered as Iho ago of inventions and of productivo excellence. Men not yet , elderly can remember tho introduction, of tho locomotive, tho steamship, and tlio art of lighting by goa. To those more youthful the triumphs of electricity havo ' not yet lost tho keen edgo of novelty, and tho telegraph, telephone, microphone, and tlio olectrio light stand as shining beacons to mark tho marvollous progress of tho nineteenth century. Tho gonoral impetus which the inventi vo genius of tho * age has given to tho arts and scionccs ia strikingly illustrated by the wonderful improvements in tho manufacture of Watches. S. E. COOPER can now sell for a comparatively trifling sum. Watches that for gonoral excellence could not hava been produced for twice tho money only a few years ago. Thoso' sceptical as to this assertion should inspect his stock, which is not only tho largest and most varied in Hawke s Bay, but docs not contain a single specimen or tho "Brummngom" goods which English cheapjacks try to palm upon colonial buyers, using tho poat-ofllco and stilted "coupon" announcements to deccivo tho unwary. Evory sonsiblo man v knows that tho best way to get a good Watch ia to purchase from a reliable Tradesman, and that to trust to birds of , passage, or to purveyors of puffed-up gimcracks mado for tho fancy shops of Houndsditch, is simply to'iiivito los 3ot monoy and much vexation. READ , 0L ™ VING QUERIES Why send out of the district for Watches! Why forget that you can pro- : euro a Choapor ana Bofctor Avtiolo in Napier? Why omit to weigh tho worth of a guaranteo from a tradosman who lives in tho district, and vaio can be vovnd- ■ NOT ONLY TO-MORIiOW Oil NEXT WEEK, but whoso stay of many years in tho past is tho best warrant for his presonco horo when ■ required at any timo jn tho futuro? Remember that a guarantee from a tradesman settled in tno placo is not a piece of wasto paper, but an agreemont bindingthe giver to porform, all that is stated. Buy your Watches in the district, and ensure a v (rood article and a guarantee worth having. S. E.
