How to Repair a Watch.

IE the "Watch is mere rubbish o- a cheap metal one don't touch-it, or you may lo?e both your tamper- and reputation in the attempt. If, however, the watch is by a good maker, and has not been 'botched" by unskilled repairers, take it in hani, but bequick about it, because people like their watches returned promptly. The first essentials to successful repairing ac braius, thoroughly practical experiencp, and unlimited patience ; also a well equipped set of the latest and best appliances, which will cost— including a chronometer — abouc £100. ißeing iv possession of these essentials, add thereto energy and application,- and by working on the following lines, you will probably make a name for yourself. First take the movement to pieces, examine each part carefully, pas* them through the benzine bath, brush und peg out tbe mo9t minute parts, remove the jewels, pee that tbe pivots are perfectly true, burnish and replace them on tbe jewels, carefully bush any worn parts, and repair any broken cogs or -Rom wheels ; try the mainspring and hairspring, also tha balance, and af ier petting up the movement be sure the action is good. Turn next to the case, make it thoroughly dust proof, polish well and place the movement in it set the han-?s so that they will move free of dial and glase, and then hang in the adjusting c»se, rfgulate it each morning by your chronometer, and if you .have done your work properly it should be rea-ly to return to the owoer in two or three dajs, by which wmeyoirwili reckon that you have honestly earned £1 : but your reward on sqnariug with your client will be somewhere between 5s aud 103 according to repairs executed. This may not be the Diodns operandi of every watchmaker, buT It Is Ours, and although it absoibs considerable extra time, we find ihat IT PAYS, for we are thereby making a name for ourselves, ar.d building up a aound business. If J your watch or clock stops, send or faring it to us and we will go through it faithfully and well. . Our r.-pairs average over 100 a month. All repairs guaranteed for one year. GILBERT BROS.
