IF ever during the History of New Zealand it was a matter of necessity to practice economy, to be prudent in the outlay of money, and to be careful of the pence, surely that time is now. It is a very true saying, “ If every man would sweep hia own door the town would be clean,” equally true and more to the point that “ Economy begins at home,” and following close upon the heels of these sayings comes the natural deduction that were these things truly followed out the salvation of the country, as regards freedom from bad trade, would be ensured. But as they are not, bad times will come spite of all that can be done or said in favor of economy. Bad however as trade and times may be, a great deal of the difficulty may be warded off by practising ordinary care in outlay of income. Thus a person wants a piece o' say, Beef ; the price is 7d per pound at one shop, and 6d at another. The result is the beef is purchased at the cheapest shop. Now follow this out again. A man goes to his daily work, and on arrival finds he is late, loses perhaps an hour’s time, and tho cause of being late at work—What is it ? Tho man’s watch has stopped. Now for the practice of economy. “ Who shall put his watch in order?” Answer—“He that does it cheapest ” He will at once take it to RUTLAND, the working man’s Watchmaker, COLOMBO STREET, next to lok’s Auction Rooms. RUTLAND is the only watchmaker who properly cleans watches, accurately times them, and gives a written warranty of performance for SIX MOSTHS FOR FIVE SHILLINGS. A new mainspring or chain, and cleaned for 7s 6d. RUTLAND lays himself out to be the working man’s watchmaker, and the only watchmaker who works at prices to suit the times.
