THE WATCH OF THE AGE.
WONDERFUL WATERBURY. Thousands of testimonials have been received hi its favour, and hundreds of editorials have been written in its praise. A watch that everybody can afford to own merits universal recognition, but as everybody could not afford to keep some of the so-called cheap watches in repair, the first cost is not the only thing to be considered before purchasing. The parts of the "Watskbuby" being interchangeable, the cost of repairs is minimised. Undis* tnrbed, the " Watkkbury," like Tennyson's "Brook," " Goes on for ever." But should accident, or an invincible cariosity to " see the inside of it " lead you to tamper with it, or throw it out of gear, it can be at once repaired and returned to you in going order for a sam not exceeding in any case half-a-crown ; whilst broken hands or glasses are renewed for sixpence by the m gents. Thus it is not only the cheapest to buy but the cheapest to repair ; and the sum usually paid for '« overhauling" a continental or " cheap" English watch is nearly sufficient lb purchase a " Waterbcjry," which will always give yon the correct time, and save you the discomfort and annoyance inseparable from a tricky, faithless time mutilator. Do not be deceived by imitations, however clever, offered at m few shillings less. The " Watkhboey" is worth thirteen and sixpence, and the fact that over two millions have been sent out from the factory is sufficient guarantee of its fidelity, Large shipments have been sunt to Europe to compete with continental productions in their own strongholds, and its superior time-keep-ing record ensures it a certain victory. We wonder what other watch manufacture!." can claim inch so output ?
