The Waterbury Watches

• ! Have derived their reputation of being RELIABLE TIMEKEEPERS from the myriads of grateful purchasers who have satisfied themselves that they are fully up to the standard of excellence claimed by the makers. They are STRONG, HANDSOME, SERVICEABLE, WELL-FINISHED WATCHES, and are far more reliable than half of the jewelled- all - over - patent>half-cock-go-as-you-please-back-action chronographs of the day. Genuine testimonials as to their worth can be produced by the thousand. Messrs Thompson Beos., Storekeepers, Cordillera, N.S.W., write: "It gives us 1 great pleasure in stating that, out of 100 • watches Bold by us, only one has ever been returned, and this one was afterwards ' proved to have had unusually rough treatment. We can strongly recommend the Waterbury as a cheap and honest watch." John C. Trelawnry, Esq., Maidenhead station, Tenterfield, writes : — " Having had a practical acquaintance with your watches for nearly five years, I beg to testify to their invariable accuracy in recording time. The paucity of the English language fails to furnish me with termß adequate to express my high approval of them." Lieut. Wm. Waddilove, R.N.E., Commander of the R.M.S. Iberia, says :— " I beg to Btate that I have carried with me for the past two years one of your short-winding Waterbury Watches. It has proved a inoßt reliable timekeeper, and I find it most nseful at sea, as moving its hands does not eeem to affect its accuracy." A better proof of the known excellence of the Waterbury Watches could not be wished for than the fact that many unprincipled dealers attempt to palm off on the unwary inferior imitations as "as good as," or "better than the Waterbury." Purchasers should note that no watch sold as a Waterbury is genuine without it has the word Waterbury printed in fine type upon its dial face, and also the interlaced letters W.W.Co. The genuine articles may be obtained from any leading respectable dealer or storekeeper throughout the Colony.
