Beyond Competition.

The Waterbury Watches take front rank as " the timekeepers of the day." They are not " English levers" made in Geneva, and puffed into notoriety to enforce sales and ensure disappointment. The factory, which is now turning out over half a million of these watches per annum — a production larger than that of any other watch company in the world — is still unable to keep pace with the demand, and has now extended it& operations into the very heart of the cheap watch-making territory on the continent of Europe, where it successfully competes with these "English levero" on equal term 3. These are no idle boasts, but stubborn facts, and we challenge the refutation of theao assertions. The Waterburya (serie3 E, J and L) are only nickel-plated watches sold at a low figure, bnfc they get their reputation from live purchasers and not the owners of dead stock. They are far more reliable timekeepers than half of the jewelled-all-over-patent-half - cock - go -as-you-please-back-action - hair - trigger-com-pensated-lock-3titch burglar-bait 3 made in | Switzerland and Germany, and sold as English levers. Tho Waterbury Watches have nothing to fear from ridicule, no dread of exposure. They are simply what they claim tc bo; and defy competition. These world - famed and time - tried watches may be obtained from any respectable dealer or storekeeper throughout the Colonies. Prices : Series E, the old favourite, 13a 6d ; Beries J (gents' size) and L (ladies' size), the new short-winding,stem-winding, and setting marvels, 22s tid each.
