The founders of the Company are pos- tomed of a piant of machinery complete in every particular, of the newest design and the finest workmanship and adapted for the making of all implements used in the! watch trade s well as the making of watches. It is well known that machinery has affected a complete revolution in the. watch trade and it is confidently expected that by availing itself of the comparatively cheap labour of this country this Company will be able to supply the trade in all parts of the world with an article which for eisellence of workmanship and cheapness of price will defy competition.

Mr P. H. Wheeler, the Superintendent of the Company, has been for many years engaged in devuloping watch-making machinery, and the testimonials from his forever amplayers testify to his business alálity, skill and integrity. The machinery

of which the founders are possund has been perfected under his superintendance and ■ considerable part thoroof is of bis Invention.

was done on a wage baxin of $1.50 (gold) per operativo, the factorios employing six thou- sand bands. If the difference in the rate of labour in this country is takva into con- sideration the operations of the Company will be cared to realire to the full the expectations of the founders. The profita

of watch-making are based antiraly on the price of labour.

It is not in the labour market only that au advantage will be obtained. Coal and other materials can be purchased in this country at a lower rate than in the United States. And besides all these advantages, which are great, there is one of still greater Importance, the knowledge to be obtained of the requirements of the locaf trade, of the trade for China, and that of 'The Straits' and India. The Company will be capable of supplying a watch of the bast workmanship to the population of these large and important countries at a price far below any watch of like character that has ever been offered to those markets.

Teking into consideration these advan- tagar the founders confidently expect to pay a dividend of at least 10 por cont. por amanm on the first two years' work, and thereafter dividends at a much higher rate. The Company has been registered in Hongkong as a Limited Company.

The founders take and acquire 30,000 shares of the stock of the Company in pay- ment for the machinery, plent and stock and their labour and experimce is preparing and procuring the machinery and stock.
