A WOXDBRFt'L WATCH, THE CORRECT TIME FOR THIRTEEN AND SIXPENCE. ONE of the chief signs of the progress of the age in which we live is the rapid iraprote* tneut of machinery, and its tendency to cheapen the requirements of modern life. Fifty years ago, for.in&tance, only a tich' man could own a watch, and the majority of mankind were obliged io calculate the time by the sun's altitude, the village dial ia the old churchyard, or » generation further back by the hoar glass. To-day, however, the importance of time obtains a wider rcognition — not only , as a convenience or a luxury, but as the absolute essence, of business, and a reliable timekeeper ia a grimary requiste alike of the merchant and his clerk, 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, service, able, reliable watch is a necessity— the first requisite of social and 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 the simplicity of its construction Because it is cheap, however, don't regard it as a toy or children's watch. It is equal in' appearance, Guisli, and accuracy, to the most; expensive article, superior in strength and durability, and will coat less to repair than any other. • The WATERBURY w in every respect esseatiallj Lhe watch for the mechanic, the clerk, the miner, tho bushmani the working man — in a word, the watch for THE PEOPLE, and is within the reach of all. Descriptively the WATERBURY i» himilar in appearance and size to the ' Waltham, has a white dial, bevelled crystal glass, and is keyless, or a stem- winder— no fear of losing the key or leaving it in som« other pocket. As an evidence of the value and reliability of these splendid watches, we are now manufacturing over I THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND Yearly, all of which are regulated and tested beiore leaving tho factory. ■f — WnattGoae? —Yes, sir, train left ten mlnutei •gO»4]H|t lon't you buy a " Watsbbukv?!* Brooklyn, N. V., October 10, 1881. Waterbury Watch Co. Gentlemen,— One of fyour watches was presented to me at the beginning of the past 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 run 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 tt with the chronometer at the Long Island Depot and found it did not vary ball a minute the en* tire season. This statement is truthfully correct. Wm. S. Blydhnbtjeq. Depotmaster, Brooklyn, Barth, and Coney Island Railroad. The WATERBURY WATCH, packed in satin-lined case, can now be obtained through any Storekeeper, price THIRTEEN SHIL« LINGS 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 prices and rates of interest for ordinary watches on the time-payment or club principle. Get your Storekeeper or Jeweller to obtain one for yon, 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 THREE HUNDRED and TEN THOUSAND annually, aU 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 nw«« the letters "W.W. Co."; without which none are genuine, ALL JEWELLERS AND STOREKEEPERS. Pbicb, 13s 6d. ARTHUR BRISCOE & CG.j PRINCES STREET, Dunedis. HEW ZEALAND HARDWARE COMPANY CUMBERLAND STREET-
