A PRETTY CONCEIT.

Tho onormous sales of the Waterbury liavo led firms who do not euro for a steady turnover n\ a legitimate profit to explore tho purlieus of tbo Continent for cheap inferior " tickers "-t»o do not call them watoheswith which to 'run the Waterbury.' Theso possess one virtue only—that of showing the dealer a return of some 160 per cent, on his outlay. That they should keep time is a matter of no moment, so long as they roeomblo the Wnterbury in outward appearance, style o! casing, etc., with sufficient oiosonoss to deceive a careless or unwary purcbriEcr. Firms doing this often say to us" What do wo care; wo can mako five shillings a watch, moro on them then we can on yours; and as to keeping time, well, our troubles about that," Bnyors requiring rcliablo wntobfc can trust the Waterbury, and the publio requiring the correct time should sco that they get it, Tho gents'or ladies' Waterbury, gold filled or in sterling silver, are handsome, inexpensive,, ana durable; whilst tho niokel varieties are so well known that they require no further recommendation. It is a preity conceit for hero and there a stray trader to think his imports of tho " Nebuchadnezzar," tho " Millemum," tho " Gonbuug'," or some other specially titled monstrosity, has any effect on tho Wnterbury market, whilst for evory watch bo nervously orders over ono hundred Waterburys aro alwayi afloat for New Zealand. Tbo feal strength of tho Wnterbury lies in its absolute reliability, in other words its absolute refusal to keep anytbiug but tho coneet time. We sometimes s?e" tiokors" -we still bar them any other title-offered for sale which aro really wonderful combinations. Thoy not only exhibit tho whole of the celestial bodies on their facts, but keep time, or profess to.tcll you tho stnto of tho monoy market, tho amount of any particulal member's indebeduess at Bellamy's, and the name of the next Bank to reconstruct in Australia. Tho Watcrbury does not do this. It simply keeps correct time and goes on doing so.
