PRECEPTS.
IN POETRY AND PROSE.
Three little maida from school are we, Proper and good as we ought to be ; The reason why you will shortly see : Three little maids from school. Three little maids, delighted very, Laughing always so bright and merry ; Every one with a " Waterbury : " Three little maids from schcrol. Time ie money. But before the Waterbury Watoh was introduced it was impossible to say how much. Now everybody knows that Time is 13a 6d. The great popularity of the Waterbury Watoh is still further enhanced by the fact that it can be repaired at a less cost than any other watch in the world. The Waterbury Watch is not alone the cheapest watoh in the world to buy. but it is also tho chepest to have repaired. Re pairs are charged for according to requirements, but in no oaee do they exoeed 2e 6d, except by mutual agreement.

The Company undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exoeeding 2a 6d, except by mutual agreement. Why ehould 1 give £5 or £10 for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing repairs, and at the best of times cannot be relied on, when I can buy a perfectly reliable, strong, and handsome Waterburv Watch for 13s 6d. * The Waterbury Watoh has nothing to fear from ridioule, nothing to dread from exposure. It is just what it claims to be— A strong, handsome, serviceable, wellfinished timekeeper, and defies competition. The Waterbury Watch is mining the profession of pickpocket. He has to expend just as muoh skill on the annexation of a Waterbury as he does on a 100-guinea gold chronometer. Bat its intrinsic value is bo small that he cannot realise. It won't melt. PRICE, 13a 6d EACH. Beware of worthless imitatione offered at lower prices. To protect yourselves from imposition and disappointment, buy only from the Agent*. Sole Agents for Auokland— E.
