.MVBNTY REASONS. L Why every Watch Buyer should 'atronise STEWART DAWSON & CO. 1. Because— ever moving in the van of progress a« we do, and being fully alive to the great necessity of the agu we live in— lo years ago we abolished the old slow, roundabout system of trading by a series of infinite gradations, thus solving the great commercial problem of how to attain the maximum of efficiency at tho minimum of cost to the uner. We brought the manufacturer and the public together, thus entirely dispensing with middlemen and completely annihilating tho evorbitant profits of the importer nnd retail dealer. 2. B< j cau.se we are the only Watch Manufacturers in the Australian Colonies dealing direct with the public, and where a retail dealer sells one watch, \ve possibly sell 500 —hence the difference in price to all who patronise us. 3. Because in the construction and moehaniHin of all our Watches we constantly aim at the /Utaininent of Excellence,^ Efficiency, and Durability, together with High Finish and Perfect Timekeeping, knowing that entire satisfaction to every customer bring* u<» increased trade through every Watch we sell. 4. liecause being manufacturers supplying our own productions to the public we are thoroughly conversant with every detail in their construction, and can thereby guarantee a certainty of their performance, a feature entirely out of the province of the ordinary retailer. 5. Because our watches being all made in our own Factory by the most skilled workmen, on the most improved scientific system, a uniformity and fitn»*s of purpose is obtained, forming the basis on which their merits have so vastly accumulated during the severest test of time. 6. Because we retain all the beat elements of the lever escapement as invented by Massey in Liverpool 80 years ago, and have added to the same many valuable improvements, bringing the English Lever Watch up to the nighest state of perfection. 7. Because the whole movement is turned out of the solid—including frames, plates pinions, palets, nnd escapements — all being gauged and fitted by scientific machinery, ensuring perfection of exactitude in every detail. 8. Because the e3capement is adjusted to the perfection of performance and jewelled in hard setting, and although it beats no less than 10,200 times each hour, its deadbeat action will bo as perfect in 50 years' time as when first turned out. 9. Because the hair springs are hardened and tempered to the highest degree of elasticity, contributing a uniform rate of motion indispensable to perfect time keeping. 10. Because all our watches have maintaining' power and stop-work. The former com pel Is the Watch to go while being wound, and the latter makes overwinding an impossibility. The hands may also be turned backwards and forwards at option. 11. Because the dials are made of the very best hard white enamel, with artistically printed chapters and .sunk recesh for second hands and htted on to solid, hollowback frames. 12. Because e\ery Watch is fitted with patent safety huir spring and stud fastener, which entnely pre\ents displacement in riding, jumping &u. 13. Because the ca->es are very strong, sterling silver or 18 car.it gold, Hall marked, and are du^t and damp proof, splendidly finished, and warranted to stand constant wear an oidinary lifetime. 14. 'Because, unlike Watches of Foreign nuke, which are usually left with the unseen p.uts of the movements rough and unfinished, every part of our English W.itch h polished to the highest degree, after which it is treble gilt and frosted by steam power. This superior finish ensures the greatest dut ability. 15. Because all our Watches are made with interchangeable parts, and, in case of accident, any part can be replaced at the least posfcible cost. If). Because we guarantee the performance of every Watch for a period of from three to five years, aud bell each on the condition that the purchaser has a week's free trial, enabling all to verify their matchless value and quality. 17. Because our system of manufacture issues iv the production of a Watch that stands the roughest wear, and enjoys it ; gnes its owner less trouble and more comfort ; will go 'nore years and cost less in repairs than any other Watch known. 18. Because we supply every grade — keywinding or keyless (ladies and gents') including full and three-quarter plate Levers, centre secondsJChronograph Levers, Double Chronographs, Half Chronometers, Railway Watches, &c, at about half usual retail price, all stated in our magnificent Illustrated Watch Pamphlet, and the inexperienced, can buy from Stewart Davvson hnd Co. with the same security as the most matured critic. 19. Because in proof of value and quality our Watches are known and celebrated by wearers wherever the English language is spoken. The sale from our head establishment, Liverpool, England, extends to every part of the United Kingdom and all part* of the world ; while the patronage extended to our several Colonial branches obtain^ proportions that oxoaed the totals of all other Watches sold throughout the whole of Australasia put together. 20. Because the medley of discordant cries evoked by Watch Dealers on all sides against us are the best evidences of the reforms we have effected •— • every reform affects more or less the persons who have profited by the system of business sought to be reformed. Human nature will out ; but wo remain perfectly tranquil at the attempts made through jealousy to deprecate our Watches and our system of business, and the feeble efforts of othera who try to emulate us. These are but the natural outcome of disappointment at their attenuated trade. Note. — Every intending Watch Buyer should write for a copy of our magnificent new ILLUSTRATED WATCH PAMPHLET, containing splendid Engravings of each kind, drawn from the actual Watches- ; also contains a concise history of the English Lever, its invention and developetnent ; and hundreds of wonderful Testimonials, British and Colonial.
