A PRETTY CONCEIT.

The 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 Continentforoheap, interior " tickers"-we do not call them watcheswitl. which to'run the Waterbury. 1 These possess ono yirtuu only—that ol showing the dealer a return o! some 150 per cent, on his outlay, That thoy should keep time is a matter o( no moment, so long as they reseniblo the Waterbury in outward appearance, stylo of casing, etc, with snfUoient closeness to deceive a careless or unwary purchaser, Firms doing this often say to us" What do we care j we oan make flvo shillings a watch, more on them then we can on yours; and as to keeping time, well, our troubles about that." Buyers requiring reliable watoheb can trust the Waterbury, and the public lequiring the correct time should sec that thoy get it. the gouts' or ladies' Waterbury, gold filled or in sterling silver, aro handsome, inexpensive, and durable; whilst the niokol varieties are so well known that thoy require no further recommendation, It is a pretty conceit for hero and there a stray trader to think bis imports of the " Ncbuohadnepar," the " Millemmn," the " Gonbung,!' or some other spcoially 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, The 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 m " tickers"-we still bar them any other title—offered for sale whioh are really wonderful combinations. Thoy not only oxhibit the whoie of the celestial bodies on their facts, but keep time, or profess to,teli you the state of the money market, the amount of any partioulal member's indebtedness at Bellamy's, and the name of the neit Bank to reconstruct in Australia, The Waterbury does not do this. It simply keeps correct time and Roes on doing so.
