A PKETi'Y CONCEIT, The enormous sales of the Waterbury have led lirriiß who do not care lor a steady turnover at a legitimate profit to explore the purlieus of the Continent for oheap inferior " tickers I we do not call them watoheswith which to 'run the Waterbury.' These possess ono 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 rescmblejbe Waterbury in outward appearance, style of casing, eto., with sufficient oloseness to deceive a careless or unwary purchaser, Firms doing this often say to us " What do wo care; we can make five shillings r watch, moro oajhem then wo can on yours; and as to keeping time, well, our troubles about that." Buyers requiring reliable watohes can trust the Waterbury, 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 thonickel varieties are so well known ihat they • require no further recommendation. It is a pretty conceit for here and there astray trader to'think his imports of the "Nebuchadnezzar," "tho " Millenium," tho " Gonbung," or some other specially titled monstrosity, has any effect on the Waterbury market, whilst for every watch he nervously orders over ono hundred Waterburys are always afloat for Now Zealand. Tho real strength of the Waterbury lies in its absolute reliability, in other words its absolute refusal to keep anything but tho correot time.: Wo sometimes see" tickers"-we still bar. them any other title—offered for sale which aro really wonderful combinations. They not only exhibit the whoie of the oelestial bodies on their facis. but keep time, or profess to,tell •you the state of the money market, the amount of any partioulal 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 correot time and goes on doing so,.
