THE WATCH OF THE AGE.
WONDERFUL WATERBURY.
Thousands of testimonials have been received in its favour, and hundreds of editorials have been written in its praise. A watoh that everybody can afford to own merits universal recognition, but as every, body 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 parti of the "Watbbbury" being interchangeable, the cost of repairs is minimised. Undis* turbed, the '« Watbrbury," like Tennyson's "Brook,"
" Goes on for ever."
Bat should accident, or an invincible cariosity to " see the inside of it" lend yon to tamper with it, or throw it out of gear, it can he at once repaired and returned to yon in going order for a Bam not exceeding in any case half-a-orown ; whilst broken hands or glasses are renewed for sixpenoe by the agents. Thud it is not only the cheapest to buy but the cheapest to repair ; and the mm usually paid for "overhauling" a continental or "-cheap" English watoh is nearly sufficient to parchaae a " Waterbcry," which will always give you the correct time, and save you the disoomfort and anaoyauce inseparable from a tricky, faithless time mutilator.
Do not be deceived by imitations, however olever, offered at a few shillings less. The " Watrrbuky" 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 sent 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 manufacturer can claim saoh an output ?
