PLAIN FACTd.—About seven years ago Stewart Dawson & Co., Liverpool, originated and introduced a new system of business in the English Watch Trade, viz. —Instead of continuing to sell their watches to retail dealers on credit with long payment, they resolved to go direct to the public themselves and sell their manufactures for cash —a system which has received a world-wide patronage never before equalled in the history of watch making. S. i>. & Co. have now fully placed this advantageous syßtem of business within the reach of the colonial public, and here remind all that, by dealing direct with them, the actual Manufacturers, every customer saves three large profits—the. London Wholesale Dealers' Profit, the Colo> ial Wholesale Dealers' Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dealers' Profit—in all otbe okb httndbed PEB CENT. SATED TO BACH POBCHABER. A £7 108.
