rW W E N T Y REASONS. X Why every Watch Buyer should Patronise STEWART DAWSON & CO. 1. Bocaiißo— over moving in tho van of protfivm an we do, and buiittf fully alive to the preat necesHity of the age we li\e in— lo years ago we abolished the old slow, roundabout ByHtem of trading by a nerie.s of infinito pradMtions, thu« solving the great coinineiciul problem of how to nttain the maximum of efficiency at th<> minimum of cost r<» the user. We brought the manufacturer and the public together, thus entirely di«penrtiug with middlemen and completely annihilating the exorbitant profit* of the importer nnd retail dealer. 2. Because we are the only Watch Manufacturer^ in the Australian Colonies dealing direct with the public, and where a retail dealer Hells one watch, we possibly Hell 500 —hence the difference in price to all who patronise m. j 3. Because in the construction and mechanism of all our Watches we constantly aim at the a ittaintnent of Excellence," Efficiency, and Durability, together with High Finish and Perfect Timekeeping, knowing that entire satisfaction to every customer brings us increased trade through every Watch we sell. 4. Because 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 skill*-! workmen, on the most improved scientific system, a uniformity and fitness of purpose is obtained, forming tho basis on which their merits have so vastly accumulated during the severest test of time. 6. Because we retain all the best elements of the lever escapement as invented by Maascy in Liverpool 80 years ago, and have added to the name many valuable improvements, bringing the English Lever Watch up to the highest state of perfection. 7. B icause the whole movement is turned out of the solid —including frames, plates pinions, palets, and escapements — all being gauged and fitted by ncientific machinery, ensuring perfection of exactitude in every detail. 8. Because the escapement is adjusted to the perfection of performance and jewelled in hard Hi-ttinjr, and although it bent-- no less than 1(5,200 times each hour, its deadbeat action will bo an 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 compells the Watch to go while being wound, and the latter mnkes 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 recess for second hands and ntted on to solid, hollowback fiamtw. 12. Became every Watch is fitted with patent safety h.iir spring anil stud fastener, which entirely prevents displacement in riding, jumping dfce. 13. Because the cases are very strong, sterling silver or IS carat gold, Hall marked, and are du-t and damp proof, splendidly finished, and warranted to stand constant wear an ordinary lifetime. 14. unlike Watches of Foreign make, which are usually left with the unseen parts of the movements rough and unfinished, every part of our English Watch is polished to the highest degree, after which it is treble gilt and fiosted by steam power. This superior finish eu>>ures the greatest durability. 15. Because all our Watches .ire made with mtei changeable part-*, and, in case of accident, any part can be replaced at the least possible cost. 1(5. Because we guarantee the performance of every Watch for a period of from three to fivo years, and sell ench on the condition that the purchaser has a week's free trial, en vbhng all to verify their matchless value and quality. 17. Because our system of manufacture issues in the production of a Watch that stands the, roughest wear, and enjoys it; gives its owner less trouble and moie comfort ; will go 'rtore year.s and co*.t 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 Levn-s, centre secondVChronograph Levers, Double Chronographs, Half Chronometers, Railway Watches, &c, at about half usual letail price, all stated in our magnificent Illustrated Watch Pamphlet, and the ine\peiieneed, can buy from Stewart Dawson hnd Co. with the same »eeurity as tho most in itured critic. 1\). Because in pi oof 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 nil pat ts of the woild ; while the patronage extended to our several Colonial branches obtains proportions that exceed the totals of nil other Wjitches 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 rei forms we have effected — every reform arfects more or less the persons who have profited by the system of business sought to be reformed. Human nature w ill out ; but we remain perfectly tranquil at the attempts made through jealou.sy to deprecate our Watches and our system of business, and the feeble efforts of others who try to emulate u.s. These are but the natural outcome of disappointment at their attenuated trade. No n:. —Every intending Watch Buyer should write for a copy of our magnificent new ILLUSTRATED WATCH PAMPHLET, containing splendid Engravings <>f^ each kind, drawn from the actual Watches ; also contains a concise history of the English Lever, its invention and dcv elopement ; and hundreds of wonderful Testimonials, British and Colonial.
