rp WEN T Y REASON s. JL Why et'ery Watch Huyer sh mid Patronise STEWART DAWSON & CO. 1. Because— ever niovint,' in the vim of progrens ah we do, and l)emg fully alive to the great necessity of tlio Hf^e we live in — 10 yearn ago we abolished the old slow, roundabout nyxtein of trading by a HorieH of infinite gradation*, thus cdlving the great commercial problem of how to attain the maximum of etticiency at the minimum of co.st to tho uner. Wo brought the manufacturer and the public together, thus entirely di.sponsing with middlemen and completely annihilating the exorbitant profits of thu importer and retail dealer. 2. Because we are the only Watch Manufacturers in the Australian Colonies rl«"»hns; direct with the public, and where a retail dealer Hells one watch, we possibly .sell .*>oo --hence the difference in price to all who patronise us. 3. Because in the construction and mechanism of nil our Watches we constantly aim at the .attainment of Excellence,* Efficiency, and Durability, together with High Finish and Perfect Timekeeping, knowing that entiie .satisfaction to every customer brings us increased trade through every Watch we sell. 4. Because being manufacturers supplying our own pi oduutions to the public we are thoroughly con vrrsunt 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 acientific system, a uniformity and fitnec* of purpose io obtained, forming the basis on which their merits have so vastly accumulated during the severest test of time. G. Becau.se we retain all the best element* of the lever escapement as invented by Ma*.sey in Liverpool 80 years ago, and have added to the sitme many valuable improvements, bringing the English Lever VVatch up to the highest Hta-tu of perfection. 7. Because the whole movement is turned out of the solid— including frames, plates pinions, palets, and escapements — all being gauged and fitted by scientific machinery, ensuring perfection of exactitude in every detail. X. Because the escapement is adjusted to the perfection of performance and jewelled in haul witting, and although it beat< no less than l(»,200 times each hour, its deadbeat action will be as perfect in I T)0 years' time as when fiibt turned out. [ 11. Because the hair springs are hardened and tempeied to the highest degree of elasticity, contributing a uniform rate of motion indispensable to perfect time keeping. 10. r»ec.iu&e all our watches have maintaining power and stop-vvoik. The former compells tho Watch to go while being wound, and the latter makes overwinding an impossibility. The hands may al.so be turned backwards and forwards at option. 11. Because the dials are made of the very best hard white enamel, with artistically printed chapter*, and sunk recess for second hands and htted on to solid, hollowback frame*. 12. Because every Watch in fitted with patent safety hair spring and stud fastener, which entirely prevents displacement in riding, jumping &c 13. Because the cases are very stiong, sterling silver or 18 carat gold, Hall marked, and ate du*t and damp proof, splendidly finished, and warranted to stand constant wear an ordinary lifetime. 11. "Because, unlike Watches of Foreign m ike, which are usually left with the unseen paits of the movements rough and 'mhnished, e^ery part of our English Watch is polushed to the highe>t degree, after which it is treble gilt and frosted by steam power. Tins superior finish ensures the gieatest durability. 10. Because all our Watches .ire made with intd changeable parts, and, in case of accident, any pnrt can be replaced at tha least possible cost. 1(5. Because we guarantee tlio peiformance of every Watch f<-r a penod of from three to five years, and soil etch on the condition that tlie pincha-m- has «i week's free trial, enabling .ill to verify their matchless value and quality, 17. Because our system of tnanuf.ict.uro issues in the production of a Watch that stands the roughest wear, and enjoys it ; gives its owner les h tionble and moie cumfoi t ; w ill go mou 1 yea is and cost lcvss in repairs than any other Watch known. 18. Because we supply every giade — keywindmg or keyle»s (ladies and gents') including full and thtee-quarter plate Levels, centre second^Chronograph Levels, Double Chionocjiaplis, Half Chronometers, Railway Watches, &c., at about half usunl retail price, all stated in our magnificent Illustrated Watch Pamphlet, and the ine\peiicnced, can buy fiom Stew art Daw son hnd Co. with the, same s'ecuiity as the most matured critic. 19. Because in proof of value and quality our Watches are known and celebrated l>y wearers wherever the English language is spoken. The sale from our head establishment, Liverpool, England, extends to every part of ttie united Kingdom and all part 1 * of the world ; while the patronage extended to our several Colonial branches obtains proportions that exceed 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 be^ 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 we remain petfectly tranquil at the attempt-" made tlnough jealousy t<» deprecate our Watches and our system of business, and the feeble efforts of others who try to emulate us. These are but the natural outcome of disappointment at their attenuated trade. No rK.— 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 hi^toiy of the English Lever, its invention and development ; and hundreds of wonderful Testimonials, British and Colonial. A copy will be sent for Threepence in stamps (cost of postage only) from STEWART DAWSON & 00., 195, QUEEX-STRKKT, AUCKLAND. Factors : Livkhpool, England.
