ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY.

It is not often that the arrival of a shipment of goods in New Zealand waters is so generally welcomed as the arrival of the present parcel of Waterbury Watches. By the fire on the Ruahine 3000 Waterbttrts — gold, silver, and nickel — were destroyed Had this interruption^ the rsgular inflow has kept the marke bare till the landing of the present parcel The Hon. Dr. Pollen tated in the Legislative Council that 95,000 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation maintain its Civil Service, run its railways and public works, and forms the nucleus of the colony's prosperity ; and yet to this very limited population over 120,000 Waterburts have been sold and delivered, and the shipment now landing consists of 2880 Waterburys, which is followed by the Elinor Vernon, due in a month, with 2SSO More, all sold already to the wholesale trade, who have been waiting supplies for from three to four months. Large as these figures are, two other shipments are to arrive before Christmas, and we venture to affirm that no other watch can show a sale in New Zealand during that period covered since the Waterbury advent of One to Each Hundred Watbrbdrys. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly end their orders to our agents as quickly as possible. WATERBURY WATCH CO., 3osd and Crawford Streets, Dcnkdin.
