Dear Sir,— Seeing that you are in Auckland, I write to say that nearly five years ago I sent to Liverpool for one of your English Silver Levers as advertised for £3 15s. I duly received the watch, and my son (William Thorburn) has carried it every flay since then at his work, mining, bush work, riding, &e,, and it has never cost him one penny for repairs. The watch is a splendid timekeeper, and would cost in Auckland at least ten guineas. My son could have sold the watch a score of times, for double the price that it cost him, but would not part with it on any account. I may also say that 1 know several here who have sent for your watches, and they have given the greatest satisfaction. You are at perfect liberty to publish this if you wish as lam well known here.—l remain yours truly, WM. LANG THORBURN, Engineer, Tararu, Thames.” INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING WATCHES.
