PRECEPTS.

IN POETRY AND PROSE.

Three little maids from school are we, Proper and good as we ought to be ; The reason why you will shortly see : Three little maids from school. Three little maids, delighted very, Laughing always so bright and merry ; Everyone with a ' Water bury;' Three little maids from school. Time is money. But before the Waterbury Watch was introduced it was impossible to say how much. Now everybody knows that Time 13s 6d. The great popularity of the Waterbury Watch is stiil further enchanced by the fact that it can be repaired at a less cost than any other watch in the world. The Waterbury Watch is not alone the cheapest watoh in the world to buy, but it is also the cheapest to have repaired. Eepairs are charged for according to requirements, but in no case do they exceed 2s 6d. except by mutual agreement. The Waterbury would not be the cheapest watch in the world if it could not be repaired cheaply when required. The Company undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exceeding 2s 6d, except by mutual agreement. Why should I give <£5 or .£lO for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing repairs, and at the best of times cannot be relied on, when I can buy a perfectly reliable, strong, and handsome Waterbury Watch for 13s 6d ? The Waterbury Watch has nothing to tear from ridicule, nothing to dread from exposure. is just what it claims to be—A strong, handsome, serviceable, well finished timekeeper, and defies competion. The Waterbury Watch is ruining the profession of pickpocket. He has to expend as much skill on the annexation of a Waterbury ashedoeßona 100-guinea gold chronometer. But its intrinsic value is so small that he cannot realise. It won t melt. PRICE, 13s 6d EACH. Beware of worthless imitations offered at lower prices. To protect yourselves from imposition and dis appointment, buy only from the Agents. Sole Agents for Auckland — Queen-street and Bbanches, AtTCKLA-NXk. The Agents are the only firm holding a Stock of repair.
