THE Waterlmry Watch, as every body is now aware, is a "gosr," nnd not a combination of parts thrown logothoi' in Switzerland, cased in ISirminghnin, and offered to the world as English Levers. It has mado its reputation not from its beauty or the simplicity of its construction, but simply from its unvarying habit of keeping correct time, and never misleading its owner. There is only one genuine Walerbury, however, although there are a host of imitations ; and to the manufacturer of this watch and its absolute perfection as a timckoopor tho energies and skill of ono of the largest factories in tho United States have been directed for the past seven years, during which period from 1000 to 2000 Watches per day have been produced, and sold to the public .as the cheapest and most, reliable watch in the world. This title >s still claimed, although there arc many other watches— so closely resembling it. in its external appearance that tho public are continually being deceived by thcm-wlnch are sold at from five to twenty-five shillings each, and are in reality worthless from the start. These watches cannot bo repaired, ami would not keep time if they coiilil ho, the principle upon which they are constructed being too complicated to be rehed upon in a movement where tho cost of production is not sufficient to allow ot the proper fitting and finish of the parts. .. The Watcrbnry Watch, on the other hand, IS produced at tho rate of 350,000 PER ANNUM, In ono variety only, so that the now ano simplo movement having only one-third tilt number of parts required by the makers o the old school to ensure even approximate accuracy is automatically produced, clean and splendidly finished throughout, and thoroughly tested in varying positions before leaving the factory. Making only ono watch, and with a consumption more than double that of any factory in the world, tho impor • ancc of this precaution will readily be seen. The idea of a cheap watch is, however, occasionally scouted by thoJUl-informcd as necessarily nn imperfect of "unreliable one, but to those we would say§ docs the nickel Clock you keep in your kitchen and -which cost you from five to ten shillings keep time or noli If a clock movement can ho produced and retailed at those figures, why not a Witch? THE BOAT RACE. At tho last Oxford and Cambridge boat race thousands ot people were spectators at the oxpenso of the Watcrbury Watch Company, who took advantage of this opportunity to show the world at, large who were the wearers of their watches. Over 100,000 WATERBURY'S Having been sold in London alone last year, some scepticism was shown as to tho truthfulness of these figures, nnd as practical reputation the Company chartered steamers to carry (free of all cost) to tho convincing ground, to follow the race, and land again at tho point of embarkation any person wearing a Waterbury Watch. Several thousands readily availed themselves of this privilege, amongst whom were soveral prominent barristers, clergymen, merchants, and members of tbc professions generally. CAUTION. Do not bo induces ander any circumstances to purchase watches offered as "WiTEßbury's " at less than the specified price (13s Gd), and as an additional safeguard buy only from the agents to avoid imposition and disappointment. Genuine Watehbuky's when requiring repairs never cost you more than half-acrown. Buy one, test ii, and carry no Other.
