£100 versus 13s 6d.

The Waterbury Watch is not a all-over-patent-half-cock-go-a3-you-please-hair-trigger chronograph. Ifc'is a strong, handsome, serviceable, well-finished, nickelplated, reliable, timekeeper for 13s 6d.

The most useful present you can make at any time of the year to any friend is that trustworthy, strong, handsome, wellfiniehed, serviceable timekeeper, the Waterbury Watch. The price is only 13s 6d. The value is hard to put in figures. Why should I give £5 or J3lO for a watch that has to ba perpetually undergoing repairs, and at the best of times cannot be relied on, when I can buy a perfectly reliable, strong, and handsome Waterbury Watoh for 13a 6d ? " -

A well-regulated young man — An " Always on Time " young man — A "Just on the Minute, good for all's in it"— A Waterbury Watch young man.

The secret of the construction of the Waterbury Watch is simplicity. The secret of its accuracy is simplicity, and the secret of its low cost is simplicity. Treat it as fairly as you would a more expensive watch, and you will find it a faithful friend.

Because the Waterbury (price 13s 6d) is a simple and reliable timekeeper, do not be gulled into buying any other nickel watch on the assurance that it is equal to a Waterbury. The Waterburv principle is a patent, and cannot be imitated. Many "cheap " metal watches are offered from 5s each to as many pounds, which are not worth picking up in the street. There is only one Waterbury, remember !

One of the leading jewellers in Christchurch, Mr C. Gundersen, High, street, has entered into a contract with the Waterbury Watch Company to repair any Waterbury at a fixed price, according to damages, of from 6d to 23 6d — no repair on any account to exceed the latter sum. Any watch mailed to him will be promptly repaired and returned. Postage an I cost of repairs will, therefore, never exceed 3s 6d to people living in the remotest part of the Colony. The Waterbury is the cheapest reliable timekeeper in the world, and costs less to repair. Hundreds of thousands of these watches have never cost their owners a penny since they first acquired them.

Waterbury watches the world. Why does Waterbury watch the world ? Because the world needs well watching, And the Waterbury is the best watch of all. *

Price 133 6d, post free 14s 3d, in satin- [ lined case. Order through your Jeweller or Storekeeper, or direct from tho AGENTS.
