A PBETTI CONCEIT. Tho enormous- sales of the Waterbury have led firms who do not care for a steady turnover at a legitimate profit to explore the purlieus of the Continent for cheap inferior " tiokcrs "—ne do not .call them watches—will, which io 'run the Waterbury. J *"These possess one virtuuonly—that of showing the dealer a return of some 160 per cent, on his outlay. That they should keep timeis'a matter of no moment, so long as they resemble the Waterbury in outward appearance, style of casing, etc., with sufficient 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; aud as to keeping time, well; our troubles aboyt that," .Buyersrequiring reliable watoheb 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 the siokel varieties are so well'known that the^- require no further recommendation. It is a pretty conceit for here and there astray trader to think his imports of the "Nebuchadnezzar," the " Millenium," the " Gonbung," or some other specially titled monstrosity, has any effect on'the Waterbury market, whilst for every watch he nervously orders' over one hundred Waterburys are alway? afloat for New Zealand. Tho 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" tickers"—we still bar them any .other title—offered for sale whloh are really wonderful combinations. They not onlyexhibit the whoie of tho celestial bodies On their facts, 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 namo of the next Bank to reconstruct in Australia. The Waterbury does not do this; It simply keeps correct time and coes on doing- so.
