GENEVA "WATCHES WHEN tho historian records tho events of tlio nineteenth century ho .wil describe' it as tho era in,which tho mechanical arts reached their apex. As' the poriod of ElizabctV is known to students as tho ago of liloiatura, the present century, although also remarkable for its intellectual acunion, will bo' chiefly remembered ns the nge of inventions nnd of productive oxcellence.' . Men not yot elderly can remember the introduction oE tlio locomotive, tho steamship, and' tho art of lighting by gas. " To' those' moro youthful tho triumphs of ■ oleotrioity havo not yot lost tho keen edge of novelty, and ttio telegrapa, telephone, microphone and tho electric light; stand as shining boncons to mark the marvellous progress of tho . nineteenth century. The -general impetus which the inventive genius of tho ago has given to tho arts and sciences is strikingly- illustrated by tho wonderful improvements in tho manufacture of Watches. S. E. COOPER can now sell for a comparatively trifling sum, Watches that, for general excellence could not have been produced for twice'tho money only a few years ngo. Those sceptical as to this assertion should inspect his stock, which is not only tho largest and most varied in Hawko 8 Bay, but does not contain a single specimen of tho "Brummagem" good which English eheapjncks try to palm upon colonial buyers, using tho post-offlco nnd ■stilted "coupon" announcements to de ; ceivo the unwary. Every sensible man knows that tho best way to get a good Watch is to purchaso from a reliable Tradesman, nnd that. to trust to birds of passago, or to purvoyors of puffed-up gim-' cracks made for the fancy shops of Houndsditch, is simply to invite loss of monoy nnd much vexation.
