TWENTY REASONS. Why every Watch Buyer should Patron i?e STEWART DAWSON & 00. 1. Because— ever moving in the van of promos* aH we dO)d O) am j | )el|lff f u u y al|Ve t() tho great necesHity of the age we live in— lo yearn ago we abolished the old xlow, roundabout Hyutein of trading by a Heries of infinite gradations, thiw solving the great commercial problem of how to attain the maximum of efficiency at the minimum of cost to the UHer. We brought the manufacturer .md thr public together, thin entirely di»penamg with middlemen and completely annihilating the exorbitant profits of the importer and retail dealer. 2. Because wo aro the only Watch Manufacturers in the Australian Colonies dealing direct with the public, and where n ret.»il dealer sells one watch, we possibly sell ,*KX) —hence the difference in price to all who patronise uh. 3. Because in the construction and mechanism of all our Watches we constantly aim at the .attainment of Excellence,^ Efficiency, and Durability, together with High Finish and Pcifcct Timekeeping, knowing that entire satisfaction to every customer brings us increased trade through every Watch we sell. y 4. Because being manufacturers supplying our own productions to the public w<; 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 Rkilled workmen, on the most improved scientific system, a uniformity and h'tnens of purpose is obtained, forming the basis on which their merits hare so vastly accumulated during the severest test of time. C. Becau-.e we retain all the best elements of the lever escapement as invented by Massey in Livevpool SO yearn ago, and have added to the same many valuable improvements, bringing the English Lever Watch up to the highest state of perfection. 7. Because the whole movement is turned out of the solid— including frame*, plates pinion*, palets, and escapements — all being gauged and fitted by j-cientific piachinrry, figuring perfection of exactitude in every detail. 8. Because the escapement is adjusted to the perfection of performance and jewelled in hatd wetting, and although it beats no less than 10,200 times each hour, its deadbeat action will be aw perfect in 50 years' time as when first turned out. !). Because the hair springs are hardened and tempered to the highest degree of elasticity, contributing a uniform rate of motion indispensable to pertect time keeping. 10. Because all our watches have maintaining power and stop-work. The formor compells 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 aro made of tho rery best hard white enamel, with artistically printed chapters and sunk recess for second hands and fitted on to nolid, hollowback frames. 12. Because every Watch is fitted with patent safety hair spring and stud fastener, which entirely prevents displacement in riding, jumping &c. 13. Because the cases are very strong, sterling silver or 18 carat gold, Hall marked, and are du^t and damp proof, splendidly fini-hed, and warranted to ftand constant wear an ordinary lifetime. 14. Because, unlike Watches of Foreign make, which are usually left with the unseen paits of the movements rough and unfinished, every part of our English Watch H polished to the highest degree, after which it is treble gilt and frosted by .steam power. This superior finish ensures the greatest durability. 10. Because all our Watches are made with interchangeable parts, and, in ca>e of accident, any part can be replaced at tho least possible cost. 10. Because we guarantee the peiformance of every Watch f>>r a period of from three to five years, and sell each on the condition that the purchaser has a week's free tria), enabling all to verify their matchIcsh 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 more comfort ; will go more years and co.st less in repairs than any other Watch known. 18. Because we supply every grade — keywinding or keyle.-s (iadies and gents') including full and three-quarter plate. Lever-, centre .scconds]Ohronogr.iph Le\eis, Double Chrononrinpli.s, Half Chronometer.-, Railway Watcho, &c, at about half Usual retail pi ice, all stated in our magnificent Illustrated Watch Pamphlet, nnd tho inexperienced, can buy from Stewart Dawson hnd Co. with the same security as tho most matured critic. 10. Because in proof of value and quality our Watches are know n and celebrated by wearers wherever the EnglUh language is spoken. The sale from our head establishment, Liverpool, England, extends to every port of tlie United Kingdom and all parts of the world ; while the patronage extended to our several Colonial branches obtainproportions that exceed the totals of all other Watche.- 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 alfects nioie or less the persons who have profited by the system of business sought to be reformed. Human nature will out; but we remain perfectly tranquil at the attempts made through jealousy to depiecate our W.itche.s 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.
