THE WATERBURY.
NOTE.
The genuine Waterbury Watch is sold by the agents, Messrs. E. Porter and Co., Queen-street, Auckland, and branches, as 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, 13s 6d. Many watches are sola daily, at from 7s 6d to lis, as Waterburys, which are simply cheap and rubbishy imitations made in Switzerland and on th 3 Continent. These will neither keep time, nor can they be repaired, as no watchmaker has any proper material.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The Wattrbury Watch Company have contracted with a leading Queen-street Jitrtllef to repair any Water bury a sold by their agents, E. Porter and Co., at a price ranging J rom sixpence to half-a-cr&iim, and to supply "'''J solely with material for the purpose. Showany Waterbury need repairing or adjusting take it at once to the agent. If you mke. '■ any other jeweller, or attempt to open and ad' just it yourself, you cannot succeed, '/* this case, should you seek to have it V# by the agents, a uniform charge of 11' SHILLINGS trill be made. On no account will any cheap imitation watches be repa'rt In consequence qf many owners opening tAetr watches for experimental purposes, toe ha* resolved to double the charge for repairing such, because a great many parts are necessarily strained and broken through knowledge in the operation.
