A WOXDERPrii WATCH, THE CORRECT TIME FOR -" 'THIRTEEN AN D^SIXPJBN CE. ONE of the chief signs of the progress of the' age in. which we live is the rapid improvement of- machinery, and its tendency to cheapen the requirements of modern life.,. Filty years ago, for instance, only a rich man could own a watch, and the majority of mankind were obliged to calculate the time by the sun's altitude, the village dial in the old churchyard, or a generation further back by the hour glass. To-day, however, the importance of time obtains a wider r cognition — not only as a convenience or' a luxury, but as the absolute essence of business, and a reliable timekeeper as a primary requiste alike of the > merchant and, his cleric, the employer and the employe, the schoolmaster and the pupil, the young and the old, the rich and the poor. , A timepiece of some sort is positively indispensable. Only a jewelled watch timed to split the seconds is a luxury.' A good, serviceable; reliable watch is a necessity — the t first requisite of social and 1 business life— and such a one is the WATERBURY, the cheapest and most reliable watch in the world. The Waterbury is so cheap that everybody can afford to owu one, and its cheapness arises ' from tno supreme simplicity of its construction j ,'Bbcause it is uhe&p, however, don't regard it as a toy:! or children's watch. It is equal in appearance, finish, and accuracy, to the most,, expensive article, superior in strength and .durability, and will cost less to repair than any. other. The WATERBURY is in every respect esseatially the watch for the mechanic, the clerk, tuts miner, the bushman, the working man— in a word, the watch for THE PEOPLE, and is within the reach ot all. Descriptively the VVATERBURY is similar in appearance and size to the Waltham, has a white dial, bevelled crystal glass, and is keyless, or a stern- winder—no tear of losing the key or leaving it in some other pocket. As an evidence of the value and reliability of these splendid watches, we are now manufacturing over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND Yearly, all of which are regulated and tested before leaving the factory. — What! Gone? ' ', —Yes, sir, train left tea minutes *go, W^ [oat you buy * « Watsk&v&y?l Brooklyn, N. V., October 10, 1881. Waterbury Watch Co. Gentlemen,— One of fyour watches was preaented to me at the beginning of the pa&t season by one of the officers of this road. I was responsible for the time used, and started all trains by your watch. Mr Gunther, our president, stated that he never knew them ran as regularly as they were the past season, and I showed the Waterbury Watch I ran them by. I stopped every morning during the season and compared it with the chronometer at the Long Island Depot and found it did not vary half a minute the entire season. This statement is truthfully correct. Wm. S. Bltoenbubq. Depotmaster, Brooklyn, Barth, md Coney Island Railroad. The WATERBURY WATCH, packed in satin-lined case, can now be obtained through any Storekeeper, price THIRTEEN SHILLINGS and SIXPENCE. Do not, be gulled by spurious advertisements requiring you to send your money 10,000 miles away, and wait six months for the return ; or pay exorbitant priceo and rates of interest for ordinary watches on the time-payment or club principle! Get your Storekeeper or Jeweller to obtain one for you, and see what you are buying before parting with your cash, and never be persuaded by the seller to buy any other on which he gets larger profit. We are manufacturing. THßEE HUNDRED and TEN THOUSAND annually, all good timekeepeps, handsome* accurate, and durable, CAUTION-IMPORTANT. See that "The WATERBURY WATOH COMPANY " appears on the face of every watch, together with our registered trade mark, the letters •• W. W. Co." ; without which none are genuine.
