NOTE. The genuine Waterbury Watch is sold by the agents, Messrs. E. Porter and Co., Queen-street, Auckland, and branches, at 13s 6d each, and buyers will do well to purchase from them direct, in order to secure themselves from annoyance and imposition. There is only one Waterbury, and it has only one price, 138 6d. Many watches are sold daily, at from 7s 6d to lis, as Waterburys, which are simply cheap and rubbishy imitations made in Switzerland and on the Continent. These will neither keep time, nor can they be repaired, as no watchmaker has any proper material. IMPORTANT NOTICE. The Waterbury Watch Company have coiltracted with a leading Queen-street Jeweller to repair any Waterbury s sold by their agents, E. Porter and Co., at a price ranging from sixpence to half-a-crown, and to sujrply them solely with material for the purpose. Should any Waterbury need repairing or adjusting take it at once to the agent. if you tab. it to any other jeweller, or attempt to open and adjust it yourself, you cannot succeed, and in this case, should you seek to have it set right by the agents, a uniform charge of FIVE SHILLINGS ioill be made. On no account will any cheap imitation watches be repaired. In consequence of many owners opening their watches fen experimental purposes, we have resolved to double the charge for repairing all such, because a great many parts are necessarily strained and broken through imperfect knowledge in the operation. Men who work about gasworks arc not subject to epidemics. Whoever now covers their footpaths with coal-tar to prevent fever will gain another advantage when the wet season sets in : neither grass nor weeds will grow thereon. Remarkable Disappearance.—Very remarkable disappearance of all dirt from everything, by using Hudson's Extract of Soap. RewardPurity, health, perfect satisfaction by its regular daily use. For clothes, linen, knives, forks dishes saucepans, and all domestic washing.
