A POPULAR QUEEN" AND A WONDERFUL WATCH. : IT may not lie generally known — it may not even be a fact — that Her Maiesty carries a "Watkrbuhy," but if she does not now she probably will do so before long, and will then be able to corroborate tho verdict of thousands of other eminent personages, all of whom agree that, for unswerving accuracy, this wonderful little watch has no equal. Hundreds of thousands ha vo boon sold— hundreds of thousands are produced every year, and after the most crucial test public opinion has accepted the "WATEnnoitv." and from the editorial columns of " Tho Times," tho -Daily Telegraph." the "Yorkshire Post, and "'Now York nerald"; the pulpit of the Rev. Dr. Talmage, Brooklyn; and the Professorial Chairs of Harvard, Yale, and Edinburgh; its merits have been unhesitatingly proclaimed. Whilst tho " Watbbbuby "at Thirteen Shilling and Sivponco is admittedly the cheapest watch in tho world, there are many watches sold at lower prices which have littlo or no value of their own, as many of our readers unfortunately know. As with everything else, so with the " Waterbury,' tho imitator has been at work, and it is necessary to warn the public ngainst buying any continental counterfeit, or watches " guaranteed equal to tho " Waterbury," whether offered at five shillings or as many pounds. There is only one '• Watebbuuy,"- price thirteen and sixpenco — a substantial reliable watch, simple in construction, inexpensive to repair, and that, with ordinary caro will last a lifeThe eraof exponsivcgoldandsilverwatches is rapidly passing away, and tho diffusion of education and the development of science is surely rcvolutionisirg tho manners and customs of our race. This is an ago of utility, and the pretentious gold lever will soon be relegated to the limbo of the sun-dinl, and tho hour-glass of ourforefathors, knocked out, so to speak, by the unerring accuracy of the nickel-cased unassuming " Wateruury. ' An expensive watch is neither a necessity nor a badge of respectability. " Tho Time's the Thing," and whether indicated by a hundred guinea ruby "chronic-graph," which req.uiresad.Bistment with every fluctuation of tho thermometer; the city clock with its costly officialdom ; tho mercury weighed regulator, or tho faithful " Watetbury," matters not to the modern utilitarian. The " Waterhury " keeps correct time, and its most costly rival can do no more, though wo frequently hear of somo of them not even coming up to expectations in this essential particular. Tho secret of the "Waterbury's" strength and accuracy lies in its simplicity, and its internal mechanism marks a new and radical departure in the art of watch-making. The long thin mainspring, so frequently ridiculed, is the real source of its superiority, and enables its designer to do away with the intricate duplication of parts by tho direct application of power. So woll has this principlo been appreciated that the Factory established nenrly ten years ago with an output of 1000 WATCHES PER DAY has been taxed to its utmost, to meet, the requirements of the trado : and thoufh arrangements were completed for the supply of the Province of Auckland more than a year ago. no watches could be spured for this market until within the last two or three weeks. During tho year 1880 100,000 "WATERBURYS" were sold in London, and the well-known firm cf W. H. Smith nnd Sons. Railway Bookstall men, offer them at all the railway stations and at nil the trains in the United Kingdom. Wo believe Mr Smith himself, who is First Lord of tho Admiralty, regularly carries ons for his own personal use. In Sydney, during the same period, 45,000 "WATERBURYS" changed hands, and the qncstion naturally arises, what becomes of them? who carries them ? And tho answer is, the people. Every Bank and every Factory, Cvtiry CbUntiiighouse and every Store, boasts its " Waterbury." Amongstour merchants, our lawyers or doctors, OUr artisans or laborers, it is no stranger; and whether exposed to the vicissitudes of the miner, the rough usage of the bushman, or the eccentricities of commercial or professional life, its record is tho sametrustworthy, strong and durable. Thousands of testimonials have been received in its favor, and hundreds of editorials have been written in its praise. A watch that everybody can afford to own merits universal recognition, but, as everybody could not afford to keep somo of the so-called cheap watches in repair, the first cost is not the only thing to be considered before purchasing. The parts of tho "WATEnmTHY" being interchangeable, the cost, of repairs is minimised, Ulldis' turbed, the "WaTkrbury," like Tennyson's "Brook," " Goes on for over." But should accident, or an invincible curiosity to "see the inside of if," lead 'you/to tamper with it, or throw it outYpf «ear,;it*;an be at once repaired and returhed'lo&ou in going order for a sum not exoccdfngTin'itn.v case, half a ordWn, whilst broken ffandsLpr glftsses ure renewed for sixpence. ThusTßps not only tho cheapest to buy, butfthe cheapest to repair; and the sum usually paid for overhauling" a continental or ''cheap 1 -', anglish watch is nearly suflleiimtfio purchase a •• Wateiiudby," which will olways^give you the correct time, mid save you the discomfort and annoyance inseparable from a tricky, faithless time mutilator. Do not. be deceived by imitations, however clover, offered at a few shillings less. The "Waterbury" is worth thirteen aud sixpence, and the fact that over two millions have been sent out from tho factory is sufficient guarantee of its fidelity. Large ship, ments have been sent to Europe to compete with continental productions In their own strongholds, and its superior timekeeping record ensures it a certain victory. We wonder what, other watch manufacturer can claim such an output? The public are particularly requested to confine their purchases to the following firm, mis caution is necessary in consequence of an attempt to dispose of cheap and worthless imitations at prices ranging from five to twelve shillings. The genuine Watcrbury requires no puffing when onco known, nnd the Waterbury Watch Company are quite content to offer a genuine timekeeper through their Agents for thirteen and sixpence, and they are the only ones to whom they have supplied, or who are authorised to sell their watches.
