PLAIN FACTS. About 7 years ago Stewart Dawson & Co., Liverpool, originated and introduced a new system of business in the English Watch trade, viz:—lnstead of continuing to sell their watches to retail dealers on credit with long payment, they resolved to go direct to the public themselves and sell their manufacture for cash —a system which, has received a world-wide patronage never before equalled in the history of watch making. S. D. & Co. have now placed this advantageous system of business within the reach of the New Zealand public, and here remind all that, by dealing direct with them, the actual manufacturers, every customer saves three large profits —the London Wholesale Dealers’ Profit, the Colonial Wholesale Dealers’ Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dealers’ Profit—in all over one hundred PER CENT.
