A PUBLIC BENEFIT IN THE HAIRDRK3SING and TOBACCONIST BUSINESS.® THE PARIS SALOON.

Compare the results now obtained from the test chronometers of modern make, with the lerformances of the old wooden Dutch clocks, amiliar, no doubt, to some of us, and themlelves a great improvement on Henry the Vick’s clock (1374), the first timepiece driven >y a weight, and having a balance; the scapement being similar to that of the verge patches some of which are still in use. By he continual research, and unremitting icrseverance of generations of clever artists, he science which gave so little promise at he beginning has been elaborated until iractice and theory are so perfected and econciled that the art of watchmaking now anks second to no other. Even cheaply sonstructed watches and good verges, by ‘ conversion ” can be made to give good esults at a moderate outlay by W. Nicol & 3on, Watchmakers, Athenaeum Buildings, Invercargill, who are experts in the construction and repairs of all timekeepers. [—Advt. my 19 CLIFTON BUTCHERY.
