PLAIN FACTS. About seven years ago Stewart Dawson & Co., Liverpool, originated and introduced a new system of business in the English Watch Trade, viz. : — Instead of continuing to sell their watches to retail dealers on credit with long payment, they resolved to go direct to the public themselves and sell their manufacture for cash— a system which has received a world-wide patronage never before equalled iv the history of watch making. S. D. & Co. havo now placed this advantageous system of business withi-i the reach of the New Zetland public, and here remind all that, by dealing direct with them, the actnal Manufacturers, every customer saves three large profits— the London Wholesale Dealers' Profit, tho Colonial Wholesale Dealers' Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dealers' Profit— in all over 100 per cent saved to each purchaser.
