THE object of the Company is to form and
maintain a factory in Yokohama for the Manufacture of Watches of all kinds and des. criptions,
The founders of the Company are possessed of a plant 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 as well as the making of watches. It is well known that machinery has 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 a article which for excellence 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 developing watch-making machinery, and the testimonials from his former employers testify
1
to his business ability, skill, and integrity. The machinery of which the founders are possessed has been perfected under his superintendenca and a considerable part thereof is of his inven Hoo.
