THE GOLDEN WATERBURY; ?] —— » By last mail steamer the first parcel o) ' Gold Waterburys ever shipped to Australasia were received, and are now on view all : all our agencies. These are the hand- j somes watches obtainable anywhere. 1 They; J combine the famous time-keeping qualifications of the older series, with the shortness of mainspring of an English Lever. £ Any person desiring " the correct time" in a gold case, is advised to coll and invest £2 i * 10s in the new Golden Waterbury.

This unique and - trustworthy watch is carried and prized by many of the leading ladies of the ago.' It is unpretentious in appearance, but neat and thoroughly reliable. Any parent & wishing to inculcate habits of punctuality in his daughters, shoild give them i a ■ Ladies' Waterbury, short wind, with ena- . melled dial.

As 75,000 Gentlemen's Waterburys have been sola by the writer in New Zealand alone during the past four years, and more than half a .' million more during the same period W Australia, the vendors of trashy imita- 'f tions can safely be left to console them* .. selves with a "soda and bitterness »• their own expense. It's surprising whs a lot of rubbishy imitations are offered for sale. One "gentleman" in Canterbury, who has been an industrious collector of Waterbury watch boxes, import*;.;a special "Waterbury" of bis own, wh ic " • never has been known to "go," and cer- . tainly never will be. The poorest apology ever, submitted for a watch was offered . the writer by a jeweller, securely ensconces in a Waterbury watch box, as a genui> Waterbury, so that the public desiring to , correct time must see that the monogram ? | of the Company, W.W.C., is on the face 01; | every watch, being only from our recog nised agonts. fi The Gentleman's Waterbury "J £1 2s_ 6d. • ; The Gentleman Waterbury d . -jvS s £1 2s 6d. , j The Gentleman's Waterbury J £1 2s 6d. r-m The Gentleman's Waturbury » £1 2s 6d, ■ .
