PRETTY CONCEIT The enormous sales of the Waterbary have led firms who do not care for a steady turnover at a legitimate profit to explore the purlieus of the Continent of cheap inferior “ tickers ” —we do not call them watches—with which to “run the Waterbary.” ; These possess one virtue only—that of showing the dealer a return of some 150 per cent on his outlay. That they should keep time is a matter of no moment, so long as they resemble th Waterbary in outward appearance, style of casing, etc., with sufficient closeness to deceive a careless or unwary purcbasere Firms doing this often say to us “ What do we care ; we can make five shillings a watch more on them than we can on yours; and as to keeping time, well, our troubles about that.” Buyers requiring reliable watches can trust the Waterbury; i and the public • requiring the correct time should see that they get it. The gents’ or. ladies’ Waterbury, gold filled or in sterling silver, are handsome, inexpensive, and durable ; whilst the nickel varieties are so well known that they require no further recommendation. It is a pretty conceit for here and there a stray trader to think his imports of the “Nebuchadnezzar,” the “Gonbung,” or some? other , specially titled monstrosity; has any effect on the Waterbury market; whilst for every watch he nervously orders over one hundred Watorburys are always afloat for New Zealand.- The real strength of the Waterbary lies iu its absolute reliability, in other words its absolute refusal to keep anything but the correct time. We sometimes see “ tickers we still bar them any other title—offered for sale which are really wonderful combinations. They not only exhibit the whole of the celestial bodies i on their faces, but keep time, or profess i to, tell you the state of the money , market, the amount of any particular member’s indebtedness at Bellamy’s, and ; the name of the next bank to reconstruct , in Australia. The Waterbury does not . do this. It simply keeps correct time; , and goes on doing so. N. K. COX, D.D.S., M.D., Surgeon Dentist, J. G. COX, Dental Surgeon.
