TJ&EIUL DATA. ♦ .' ■ ■ Thb secret of the " Watkrbory's " strength and accuracy lies in its simplicity, and its internal mechanism marks a new and radical departure in the art of watchmaking. The long thin mainspring, so frequently ridiculed, is the real source of its superiority, and enables ita designer to do away with the intricate duplication of parts by the direct application of power. So well has this principle been appreciated that the Factory established nearly tea years ago with an output of 1000 WATCHES PER, DAY. has been taxed to its utmost to meet the requirements of the trade ; and though arrangements were completed for the supply of the Province of Auckland more than a year ago, no watches could be spared for this market until within the last two or three weeks. During the year 1886 100,000 "WATERBUR were sold in London ; and the well known firm of W. H. Smith and Sons, railway ! bookstall men, offer them at all the railway I stations and on all the trains in the United Kingdom. We believe Mr. Smith himself, who is First Ljrd of the Admiralty, regularly carries one for hie own personal use. .PBICE: 13s 6d. Sots Agents fob Auckland; E. POKTKR AND CO.,
