PLAIN FACTS.—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 Bell 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. 13. & Co. have now fully placed this advantageous system 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 Color ial Wholesale Dealers' Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dea ers' Profit—in all over oub htthdebd PEB CENT.
