Public Itj'otife* Sport a nt for wXtchm ake lis IMPORTANT for EVERYBODY. THE RODANOW MANUFACTURING COMPANY (Limited-Capital, 2,000,000dol.), Boston, Ameri'a, will .forward, hereafter, even one single wntcl-i to any part of the world at wholesale price, i.e., 35 per cent, cheaper than any watchmaker, as none of them is manufacturing watches himself, but only buying them from here. We call the particular attention of everyone intending to purchase a first-class reliable watch to our following price-list:— KEY-WINDING WATCHES. Silver Watcli £ 8. d. Crystal seconds hand ... 0 10 0 Hunting case, engraved, highly finished .'. 0 14 0 Skeleton, movement, extra jewelled, stout double coyer ... 1 0 0 Gold Watch ; Jewelled, maintaining power, crystal glass ...

I movement, best quality, with all the latest improvement*., two gold covers 2 3 0 KEYLESS WATCHES (Stkm winders). The keyless mechanism to a watch is one of the great modern improvements in watch work. It does away with the old fashioned key; with which so many persons have ruined their watches. The watch is wound by turning a nurlcd knob, placed on the handle or bow, instead of by the ordinary means ; the hands are set iv tbe same way. The advantages of these improvements nre bvious ; the case, which never need be opened in winding, is made air-tight and dust-tight, thus preserving much longer the fluidity of the oil. and greatly prolonging the intervals between the necessary cleaning of the watch.
