A PRETTY CONCEIT,

The enormous sales of the Waterburj have led firms who dp not care for a/steady turnover at a legitimate p'roflt to explore pe mirli'eus pf the' Continent for oheap inferior h tickers do not call them watcheswithwhiohto'runthe Waterbury.' These possess one virtue only—that of showing the dealer a return ot some 160 per cent, on his outlay. That they should keep time is a matter of no moment, so long as tbey resemble the Waterbury in outward appearance, Etyle of casing, etc, with sufloiont closeness to deceive a careless or unwary purchaser, Firms doing this often say to us" What do we care; we can make five shillings a watch, more on them then we can on yours; and as to keeping time, well, our troubles about that," Buyers requiring reliable watcher can trust the Waterbury, and the public requiring' the; "cpjcyeoV ttnie ! get it.'' Tho' gents'or ladies' Wajerbury, gold fijled or in sterling silver, are handsome, inexpensive, and durable; whilst tho 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 bis imports of the "Nebuohadnezzar," the " Millenium," the " Gonbung," or some other specially titled monstrosity, has an; effect on the Waterbury market, whilst for every watch he nervously orders ovor one hundred Waterburys are always afloat for New Zealand, Tbo real strength of the Waterbury lies in its absolute reliability, in .other words its absolute refusal to keep anything but the correct time, We sometimes see" tiokers"-we still bar them any' title-offered for :'wbfch"are'rea|j j tonflMttA'cbrabi'natictns. A T%''pqt"onfy I exMbit'tlie whtie o'f jlie'celeslia) bodies on (hejr few, but keep time, or profess to.tell you tho state of the money market, the amount of any particulal member's indebtedness at Bellamy's, and the name of tho next Bank to reconstruct in Australia. The Waterbury does not do this. It simply keeps correct time and goes on doing so.
