The machinery of which the founders are poaggered has been perfected under his superintendence and a considerable part thereof is of his invention.
Besides the Machinery the founders are possessed of ten thousand watches in various stages of 'completion which are the out of the anid Machinery and caste- rial on hand sufficient to ture out about twenty-five thousand more. It will thos be soon that it is not an untried plant which the founders have acquired, but one which bu already given proofs of its excel- loace It was only the advantage of obtaining a cheaper labour market than can be found in the United States that has
