the finest workmanship and adapted for the making of all implements used in the watch trade as well as the making of watches. It is well known that machinery

as effected 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

orcellence of workmanship and cheapness of price will dofy competition.

Mr P. H. Wheeler, the Superintendent of the Company, hes been for many years watch.making engaged in developing

machinery, and the testimonials from his former amployers testify to his business ability, skill and ictogrity, The machinory

which the founders are posscssed bas beon perfected under his superintendence and a considerable part thereof is of his invention.

Besides the Machinery the foundera are possessed of ten thousand watches in various stages of completion which are the | mt-turn of the said Machinery and mate-

rial on hand sufficient to turn out about twenty-five thousand more. It will thus be seen that it is not as untried plant which the foundera havo nequired, but one which has already given proofs of its excel- Jonoo. It was only the advantage of obtaining a cheaper labour market than cui be found in the United States that has todaced them to work the business in Japan.
