ry\ \V EN T Y KKASON S. J. Why every Watch Buyer should Patronise

STEWART DAWSON & CO.

1. Because— ever moving in the van of progress as we do, and being fully alive to the great necessity of the, age we live in— lo years ago wo abolished the old slow, roundabout system of trading by a sei ie.s of infinite gradation*, thus solving the great commercial pioblcm of how to attain the maximum of etticieney at the minimum of cost to the user. We brought the manufacturer and the public together, thus entirely dispensing with middlemen and completely annihilating the exorbitant profits of the I importer and retail dealer. 2. Because we are, the only Watch Manufacturers in the Australian Colonies dealing direct with the public, and where a retail dealer .sells one watch, we possibly noli r»00 — hence the difference m price to all who patronise us. 3. Because in the construction and mechanism <»f all our Watches we constantly aim at the , ittainment of Kxtellence,! Efficiency, and Durability, together with High Finish and Perfect Timekeeping, knowing that entire satisfaction t<> e\ery customer bring- us increased trade thiough every Watch we sell. 4. Because being manufacturers supplying our ovvji production* to the public we sir.) thoroughly conversant with every detail in their conjunction, and can thereby guarantee a certainty of their performance, a feature until fly out of the province of the ordinary retailer. .">. 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 itj obtained, forming the basis on which their merits have so vastly accumulated during the seveiest test of time. 0. Because we letain all the beat elements of the lever escapement as invented by Massey in Liverpool SO years ago, and have added t.» the same many valuable improvements, bringing the English Lever Watch up to the highest state of perfection. 7. Bjcaurto the whole movement is turned out of the solid— including frames, plates pinions, pa lets, and escapements — all being gauged and fitted by scientific machinery, ensuring perfection of exactitude in every detail. <S. Because the escapement is adjusted to the perfection of performance and jewelled in hard settius, and although it beat> no less than l(i,200 time-, e.ich hour, its deadbeat action will bo as perfect in •")0 yeaia' time as when hist turned out. !). Because the hair spi ings 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 maintaming power and stop- vvoi k. The former compells the Watch to go while being wound, and the latter makes overwinding an impossibility. The hands may also be turned backwards and foi ward > <it option. 11. Because the dials are made of the very best haul white enamol, with aitistically printed chapteis and sunk rece«* for second hands and tilted on to M.Hd, hollowback frames. 12. Because every Watch is fitted w ith patent .safety hair spring and stud fasrene-. which entitely prevents displacement in riding, jumping i\a. 13. Because the cises are very strong, sterling silver „r IS c.itat gold, Hal. niaiked, and ate du>t and damp proof, splendidly finished, ,\nd w.iri.mted to stand constant wear an oidiuaiy lifctin c. 11. "Because, unlike Watches of Foreign mike, which aie usiully left witli the unseen paits of the movements lough and 'inlinishetl, e-.eiy pirtof our English Witch i- polished to the highest degree, aftci which it is tieble tfilt and fro.steii Iv stjun power. Tin* superior finish ensures the greatest duiability. 1."). Becuiso .ill our Watches aro made with Mitei changeable pa its, and, m ci.se of accident, any part can be replaced at the least possible cost. 10. Because we giuiantee the peiformance of every Watch f< r a peuod of from three to five years, and sell each on th- j condition th.it the pmchaser h.ts a week's free trial, enabling all to venfy then matchless value and quality. 17. Because our system of manufacture issues in th« pioduction of a Watch that stands the roughest wear, and enjoy*, it; gives its owner le>> tiouble .md nioie com foit;will go More, years and c^t less in repairs than any othei Watch known. IS. B.vuw; we v.ipply eveiv giade — key winding or kc\less (ladies Mid gents') including full and three qu ut<i plate Levi i -., ceutnjs.'eonds (MiioiniLriaph L i vei-, Double Chronogi.iplis, Halt Chionometei-, Railway Watches, fte., .it about h.ilf lisa il retail pi ice, all stated m ovu nncrniflcent Illustiattd Watch Pamph'et, and trY, mn\ j)eiienctd, can buy fioin Stewart Daw v>n hnd Co. with the siine sccuritv as- t!ie ni".st nic.tutcd critic. 1!). B'cause in jnoof of value and quality our Watcln's are known and celebrated by wearers wherevetthe English ltnjjua^e, is spoken. The sale from om head establishnvnt, Liveipool, England, extends to every p.irt of the United Kingdom and all part* of th" woild ; while the patronage ext-.Mu'ed to our sevetal Colonial luancles obtains pio;>ortioiis' that exceed the totals of all other Wiitches sold throughout the whole of Australasia put together. 20. Becau.-e the medley of discordant cries eroked by Watch Dealers on all sides against us are the best evidences of the reforms we have effected -- every reform affects nioie or less the porous who have profited by the system of business nought to be reformed. Human natute will out; but we remain peifectly 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 tiade.
