PEOPLE WHO SHOULD WEAR WATERBURY WATCHES.

Bunkers and financiers because they can see that it pays much better to buy a Waterbury, which lasts a lifetime, at 13s 6d than to continue to pay an annuity of 15s for periodically overhauling their showy but untrustworthy chronomoters. Mechanics because they can appreciate the | simplicity of the Waterbury's construction and ita marvellous accuracy. Its long main- < spring avoids excessive duplication of parts, , and the whole secret of its correctness and success is the direct application of power on sound mechanical principles. Journalists, because they will always be m ; time for their engagements, and always have a subject for a news " par." The Waterbury Watch Company for 13s 6d have produced a perfectly reliable timekeeper, and this is of far greater importance than the startling information that the shadow of the Princess of Saxe-something ia suffering from measles. Statists and students, because they can calulate the number of Waterburys produced by the company m seven years at 1000, three years at 1200, and five mostha at 1600 per working day — all well finished and durable. Auctioneers, because the familiar cry of Going ! going! ! going ! ! ! applies to nothing so appropriately as the Waterbury. It goes all the year round at one uniform pace, and records the correct time on every occasion. Try one.
