WATCHES WATCHES. Greatly reduced in prices i II.T. F. Stratz jj I ill F. Strat z High street, Christchurch. I am largely overstocked with clocks, watches, and jewellery, especially watches, having over 400 good strong watches at all prices to select from (which is the largest stock of watches in one shop " in New Zealand), and I am expecting about the same number more by the coming steamers, so, if you want a really good, serviceable timekeeper you will not lose this opportunity of either sending or coming down yourselves to get one. All watches are warranted from- two to five years, and if proved not genuine the money wil be returned, with interest at the rate of six per cent, added. To reduce the stock all goods will be sold at wholesale price during the next three months. Genuine Rotherham s English hunting levers, capped and jewelled, from L 4 15s ; genuine Waltham watches from L2 10s ; Ladies’ watches, “Hall marked,” English silver cases, from LI 15s ; Peep o' day alarm clocks, 10s 6d. The above are a few of the leading lines ; all other goods are proportionally low in prices. Having such a large and varied stock of watches, ch cks, and jewellery it would take too much space to enumerate every article. Come and inspect my stock and judge for yourselves. Every article marked in plain figures. Note the address: J. F. STRATZ, Practical Watchmaker, 261, High street, Trian le, Christchurch.
