AN ESSAY ON TIME.

Tima is usually represented as a bowlegged old man, hobbling along with a rusty, broken-edged scythe that wouldn’t cut cheese on a cold day; but every man who is deep in debt and seeks to stave off calamity by giving his acceptance will tell you with woful eyes that “ Old Invincible ” now does hia travelling with a pair of tho stoutest wings, with not a feather out of place, and carrying a nickel silver keyless “Waterbury,” showing time to the minute. Procrastination may he “ the thief of time,” but if he cribs a “ Waterbury,” you can replace it at tbe following figures “ Series E.” The best form of tbe original Waterbury. A good, cheap, serviceable watch, with nickeled case, stem-winder, and runs twenty-eight hours with one winding. These are made by the best automatic machinery. Price, 13s 6d. “Series J.” The new Waterbury. Short-wind, stem-set, enamelled dial, with seconds-hand, jewelled, duplex escapement, same diameter as “ Series E.,” but not so thick. Trice 22s 6d, or with patent dial 20s. “Series L.”—The Ladies’ Waterbury, which is the latest, and is a short-wind, stem-set, enamelled dial, jewelled, duplex escapement watch, smaller than “Series E.” and “J.” Price 22e 6d, or with patent dial 20s. CAUTION.—If you want correct time and a watch which, in event of accident, can he cheaply repaired, demand the WATERBURY WATCH. All watches manufactured by the Waterbury Watch Co. have the word “Waterbury” printed in small fine type upon their dial faces, and also theinterwoven letters W.W. Co.
