Watches. QJTEWART DAWBON & CO,, VERSUS THE BIG PROFIT SYSTEM. Since the opening of STB ART DAWSON ft CO.'S NEW ESTABLISHMENT In Auckland they have more than realised their expectations In the EXTRAORDINARY PATRONAGE, EXTENDED TO THEM. THE RECENT EXPOSURES IN THE WATCH TRADE have opened THE byes OF the PEOPLE. It Is an old proverb that a dying man will catch at a straw. This trite saying is fully exemplified in the unfortunate position to which oar aggressor, A. G. But* ■ lett, his reduced himself, by posing as the spokesman of the Big Profit Watch Dealers, In his quixotic crusade of tilting at facts with the lance of notion in the vain hope of resuscitating THE FOSSIL REMAINS OF THE DARK AGES OF EXORBITANT PROFITS. This ancient gentleman must have a very low estimate of the intelligence of the Auckland public to dream of ever retaining a share of their patronage and confidence after the • ■ SELF-INFLICTED EXPOSURE OF HIS TACTICS, As demonstrated in the following EXTRAORDINARY REVELATION. There ii still on view at STEWART DAWSON & CO. Establishment, yueenstreet, AN EHRHARDT WATCH, No. 52276. BOLD BY BARTLETT FOR £6 TO G. KEYNOLDS, OF THIS TOWN. The above watch, for which BARTLETT CHARGED £6. IS ONE OF EHRHAEDT'S VERY CHEAPEST GRADE. IT WINDS LIKE A GENEVA. HAS LESS WORKS INSIDE, AND COSTS CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THE ONE HE NOW PROFESSES TO SELL FOR £3. NO WONDER HIS CUSTOMERS ARE GALLED WHEN HE SHOWS THEM SO CLEARLY THE EXTRAORDINARY PROFIT HE HAS BEEN CHARGING THEM.
