Waterbury \a^^£l and yon will \ '"i^^^^^ never bo Ute. vL ?^sSj^2 own one. * * A WONDEBFUL WATOH. THE CORRECT TIME FOB THIRTEEN AND SIXPENCE. | . jj /"\NE of tho chief signs of 'the progress Vi/ ; of the age in which we live is the rapid improvement of machinery, and its tondeney to cheapen the requirements of modem life. Fifty years ago, for instance, only a rich man could own a watch, and the majority of maukind were obliged to calculate the time by the sun's attitude,, the village dial in the old churchyard,' bra generation further book, by the hour-glass. - To-day, however, the importance of time obtains a wider recognition— not only as a convenience or a luxury but as the absolute essence of business, and a reliable timekeeper is a primary requisite alike of the merchant and his clerk, the employer and the employee, the schoolmaster and the pupil, the young and the old, the rich and the poor. A timepiece of some sort is positively indispensable. Only a jewelled watch tuned to split the seconds is a luxury. A good, serviceable, i reliable watch is a necessity — the first requisite of social and business life and such a one is the Waterbury, the cheapest and mort reliable watch in the world. The Waterbury . is so cheap that everybody can afford to owa one, aud its cheapness arises from the supremo simplicity of its construction. Because it is cheap, however don't regard it as a toy or children's watch, It is equal in appearance finish, and accuracy to the most expensive article ; superior in strength and durability, and will cost less to repair than any other. Tho Waterbury is in every respect essentially the. watch for the mechanic, the clerk, the miner, the bushman, the working man — in a word, the watch for 'the people, and is within the reach of all. Brooklyn, N.T., October 10, 18S1. Waterbury Watch Company. . Gentlemen.— One of your watches was presented to me at the beginning of the past # season by one of the officers of this road. I was responsible for the time used, and started all trains by your watch. Mr Gunther, our President, stated that he never knew them run as regularly as they were the past season, and I showed the Waterbury watch I ran them by. I stopped every morning during the season and compared it with the chronometer at the Long Island Depot, and found it did not vary half a minute the entire season. This statement is truthfully correct. Wm. S. Blydenbuikj, Depot-master, Brooklyn Barth, and Coney Island Railroad. ALL JEWELLERS AND STOREKEEPERS. REPAIR DEPARTMENT.
