When you can be supplied locally, as well, if not better, why patronise outside people. "Support local industry" is a motto which has proved itself of more value than a hundred other such sayings. Support " the man who lives in your midst and spends" his money with you. Try S. B. Pettersson. Queenstown, for watches, clocks, jewellery, etc., and you will never rogret it.
