Experts and Crystals.

Have you ever examined critically the crystals used in the bezels of the Waterbury Watches? If not, then this will suggest so doing, at your first opportunity. Each of the glasses used undergoes a minute and careful scrutiny in the hands of an expert — an expert whose precision and untiring fidelity appears almost marvellous. Crystals are often rejected whose defects are so slight as to escape not only the ordinary eye, but even the vision of foremen and trained employees in other branches. Yet, upon taking one of them to the expert, that person will invariably point out the fault, and do it, withal, co quickly that one would almost believe the spot to have been marked for identification. The testing of crystals, rigid as it is, is but a sample of the method and care prevalent- in every branch of the Waterbury Watch Co.'s f Hctory. Precision is the keystone to their success ; and therein lies the secret of the wonderful results obtained in the timekeeping qualities of their marvellously reliable watches at a nominal cost. The people of Great Britain and of the United States are eminently practical, while those of the Australasian Colonies are nowise behind them in this particular, and the continued flow of acknowledgments received from them could not be wrung forth by misrepresentation, nor sustained by anything else than the most deservedly practical worth.
