“ WITH PLEASURE.”
Under date Cooktown, August 13, 1887, Mr H, Fitz Gerald, Inspector of Police, writes :—“ Ra St Jacobs oil. Having suffered extremely during the Jasfc twelve months through an injury received in falling from my horse, it is with pleasure I testify to the extraordinary qualifications of St Jacobs oil for alleviating pain.”
THEY-ABE UNIQUE,
Many people have an idea that the Waterbary, because a cheap watch, is therefore cheaply made. A visit to the Company’s factory, at Waterbury, Conn., would decidedly alter this impression. On seeing the extent aud variety of the machinery used, and the neatness, order, and organisation there exhibited, you begin to realise that making a cheap watch (and a good one) is not, by any means the off-hand affair you had thought it was. As you pass through department after department, and observe the working of the wonderful automatic machines which make' parts so fine you can scarcely see them, and yet so accurate that they can oe taken at random and fitted together to form a perfect watch j as you note tho handling of the parti by dainty and skilful fingers, tho delicacy of the process, and the thoroughness and care as to every detail, you find it difficult to imagine that they are not making one hundred dollar watches, and you then become convinced that the Waterbury is cheap—not because poorly made, but because unique and simple in construction.
