and far more reliable than half of the jewelled - ail - over - patent -half-cook-go-aa-you-pleaae-baok-action chronographs of the day. Genuine testimonials aa to their worth can be produced by the thousand. Messrs Thompson Bbos., Storekeepers, Cordillera, N.S.W., write : “It gives ua great pleasure in stating that out of 100 watches sold by ua, only one has ever been returned, and this one was after wards proved to have had unusually rough treatment. We can strongly recommend the Waterbary as a cheap and honest watch/’ John Or Tbelawnbt, Esq., Maidenhead station, Tenterfield, writes:— "Having had a practical acquaintance with your watches for nearly five years, I beg to testify to their invariable accuracy in recording time. The paucity of the English language fails to furnish me with terms adequate to express my high approval of qhem.” Lieut. Wm. Waddilove, E.N.E., Commander of the E.M.S. Iberia, says"lbeg to state tb at I have carried with me for the past two years one of your short-winding Waterbury Watches. It has proved a most reliable .timekeeper, and I find it most useful at sea, as moving its hands dees not seem to affect its accuracy." A better proof of the known excellence of the Waterbury Watches could not. be wished for than the fact that many unprincipled dealers attempt to palm off on the unwary inferior imitations as "as good as,” or “ better than the Watebbhbt.” Purchasers should note that no watch sold as a Waterbury is genuine without it has the word Watebbhbt printed in fine type upon its dial face, and also the interlaced letters W.W.Co. The genuine articles may be obtained from any leading respectable dealer or storekeeper throughout the Colony.
