About 7 years ago Stewart Dawson it Co., Liverpool, originated and introduced a new system *f business in the English Watch trade, viz:—lnstead of contm-ing to sell their watches to retail dealers on credit with long payment, they resolved to go direct to the public themselves and soil 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 Coalers’ Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dealers’ Profit— in all oveb one hunurkd PKE CENT.
