1. Because-- ever moving in the van of proßivHH as we d<», and being fully alive t<> the great necessity of the age we live in -10 yoarN ago we abolished the old slow, round about system of trading by a series of infinite pradition«, thus Hohing the great commercial problem of how to attain the m.ixi mum of efficiency nt the minimum of coat to the uspr. We brought the manufacturer and tho public together, thus entirely dispending with middlemen and completely annihilating the exorbitant profits of the importer and retail dealer. 2. Because, we are the only Watch Manu f.«cturers in the Australian Colonies deabnt: direct with tho public, and where a retail dealer sells one v. itch, we possibly nell 500 — hence the difference in price to all who patronise us. 3. Because in thn construction and mechanism «>f .ill our Watches wo constantly aim at the .ittamment of K\cellenci',| Efficiency, and Durability, together w ith High Finish and Pei feet Timekeeping, knowing that entire .satisfaction to every customer bring* us inci eased trade through every Watch we sell. 4. Bocaus<» being manufacturers supplying our o.vn productions to the public we are thojoughlv comer-ant 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 fitness of purpose is obtained, forming the basis on which their merits have so vastly accumulated during the severest teat of time. 6. Became we retain all the bent elements of the lever escapement as invented by Massey in Liverj>ool 80 yearn ago, and hnve added t> tho same many valuable improvements, bringing the English Lever Watch up to the highest state of perfection. 7. Because the whole mo\ ement is turned out of the solid — including frames, plates pinions, palets, and escapcinent* — all beiupr gauged and fitted by scientific machinery, ensuring perfection of exactitude in every detail. 8. Because the e^capemont 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 be as perfect in 50 years' time as when fcrst turned out. 5). Because the hiir springs are hardened and tempered to the highest degiee 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 compeils the Watch to go while being wound, and the latter makes overwinding an impossibility. The hands may also bo turned backwards and furward.s at option. 11. Bocau.se thp dials nro made of the very be>t hard white enamel, with artistically printed chapters and sunk rece** for second hands and fitted on to solid, hollowback frame*. 12. Because every Watch is fitted with patent safety hair spring ami stud fastener, which entirely prevents displacement in riding, jumping i&c. 13. Because tho cases arc \ory strong, sterling silver or IS carat gold, Hall marked, and aie dust and damp proof, splendidly finished, and warranted to stand constant wear an oidinary lifetime. 11. "Because, unlike Watches of Foreign make, which am usually left with the unseen parts of the movements rough and 'infinislied, e»eiy part of our English Watch is polished to the highest degiee, after which it is treble gilt and fronted ly steam p ivver. This supei ior finish ensures the greatest duiability. 15. Because all our Watches are made with intoi changeable parts, and, in case of accident, any part can be replaced at the least possible cost. ](J. Because \\i> guarantee the peiformance of every Watch fi>r a poiiod of from three to fivo yi\u->, and suil each on the condition that the puichaser b\s a week's free trial, enabling all to verify their matchless value and quality. 17. Because our sy>toni of ni.unfacturo i>-ues in the pi eduction of n Watch that standstill 1 roughest weai, und enjoys it; gives it- owner los trouble and uiou ¥ , comfort; will go 'iioie v^'is .mil c>st les-, in repair-, than any othei Watch known. IS. Becaiw we supply every giade — keyw mding or ke\less (ladies and geut>") including full and tluee-quartei plate Lint r-*, cenhusec mdsjCMn'onojriaph L-neis, Double Chiopoijiaphs, Half Clironoineteis, Kailway Watches, &<•., .it about half usiul retail pi icy, all state! m om masniflct'iit Illustrated Watch Pamphlet, nnd the me\ p'jiieneed, cm buj' fiom Stew ait Daw .son bnd Co. with the same secuiity »is the most m ituted critic. 10. Because in pi oof of value and quality our Watches are known and celebrated l>y wearers wherever the Engli-h hnguage iV spoken. The .sale from our head o-itabli.sh-nient, Liverpool, England, extends to every part of the United Kingdom and all parts of the wot Id ; while the patronage extended 1 to our several Colonial branches obtain « proportions that exceed the totals of all other Watches sold throughout the whole of i Aimtralasia 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 lnorf or le*s the pe^ons who have profited by the system of business nought to be reformed. Human nature will out ; but we remain perfectly tranquil at the attempts made through jealousy to 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 tuide.
