WATERBURY WATCHES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

IN THE ENEMY'S CAMP. Mr. D. Young, of London, who is manager of the Waterbury Watch Company's exhibit, informed me that he is selling on an average 500 watches a day in the industrial section of the Children's Palace, where the Waterbury is also on display ; and I was informed at the Waterbury headquarters, in the Rue Montmartre, where a store for the sale of Waterbury Watches exclusively has been open for some time, that the watch is much liked by the French people, and the sales are rapidly increasing.— " Chamberlyne" in the Manufacturing Jeweller.

Note.—The local agents of the Waterbury Watch Company desire to draw the attention of would-be purchasers of genuine Waterbury watches to the fact that the word " Waterbury " in small letters, and also the interwoven letters "W.W.C0.," appear upon the dial face of every watch manufactured by the above-named compan>. This caution is, unfortunately, rendered necessary from the fact that it has come under notice that numerous persons have (much to their disgust) been deceived into buying watches as Waterburys, which were no more Waterbury watches than the moon is green cheese. The agents of the company will be glad to, have any future cafes of such imposition promptly brought under their notice.
