of labour in this country is taken into cand stored at Cozsignees' risk and expense. aideration the operatione of the Company will be awared to realise to the full the expectations of the founders. The profits of watik-making are based entirely on the price of labour.

It is not in the labour market only that an advantage will be obtained. Cal and other materials can be purchased in this cotalzy 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 local trade, of the trade for China, and that of The.

The Company will be capable of supplying a watch of the best workmanship to the popalation of these Fargo and important countries at a price far below sy watch of like character that Eas ever bean offered to these markets.
