This recognition, wrung as it was from a prejudiced jury, is a signal victory for the Waterbury Watch. Series "E " —the best form of ''he original YY aterbury— a. good serviceable watch produced at a cost within the reach of all. Keyless, reliable, durable, and accurate, it is without'a peer for the man or boy in moderate circumstances. Series "J" (gent's fixe) and '« L" (ladies' size) are the latest productions of this famous factory. These are short-winding stem-setting, enameldialled, jewelled, and dust-proof watches, with duplex escapements ; and are just as good timekeepers as anyone could wish to carry. They have been unanimously declared to be perfect marvels of mechanical ingenuity. All these watches are made by tho best automatic machinery, and thus, in event of accident, can be efficiently repaired at a nominal cost at any of the company 3 repair depfits or agencies, established for the convenience of wearers in various centres throughout the colonies. The genuine Waterbury Watches maybe obtained from any respectable dealer or storekeeper. Prices: Series " E," 13s 6d ; Series "J" or "L" (enamel dial), 22s od, (patent dial) 20s.
