A BROADCAST BLESSING.
The educational force of the Waterbury Watch has been felt all over the world. Auae- < rica, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australasia havo Bhared in its civilising and encouraging impulse. The peasant of ths Russian Empire, the Kirgßis on the steppes of Asia, the Arab horsemen of the desert, und the Egyptian Fellaheen upon the Nile can, and do boast, of a timekeeper, which for utility, accuracy, and rough service is the peer of, and often more to 1 be relied upon than, any ■ elaborately jejirolled pocket piece carried by the nobility or richer classes of, their respective countryman. In Japan, through- • out India, in the forests .of Brazil, upon \ the plains of Buenos Ayres, and into tbe j furthest back-blocks of Australia and New Zealand tbe Waterbury Watch has found its way, and where ever the people are industrious there the Waterbury Watches are worn ; there tne people are daily becoming nioro punctual, enterprising, ana successful. THE REASON WHY? Mr. Eugene Marchand, of St. Jerome, Que , July2Btb, 1889. writes: "East weeK I met a gentleman from Springfield, and I noticed he carred a 'fine gold watch in one pocket and a Waterbury in the other. I asked him why. He said he kept the Waterbury to see if his other watch ran well, and he was in earnest, for he worked in a mill where they bad dynamou, and they played the dickens with the gold waicb, while the Waterbury kept ticking as regularly as ever.
