maintain a factory In Yokohama for the Manufacture of Watches of all kinds and des. criptions.

of a plant of machinery complete in avery The founders of the Company are possessed particular, of the newest deilga and the finest workmanship, and adapted for the making of all Implements used in the watch trade as well a 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 avalling 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 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 Lestimonials from his former employers testify to his business ability, skill, and integrity. The machinery of which the founders sro possessed has been perfected, under his superintendence and a considerable part thereof is of his inven tion.

Besides the Machinery, the founders are possessed of ten thousand watches in various stages of completion which are the out-tum of the said Machinery; and material on hand sufficient to torn out about twenty-five thousand more. It will thus be seen that it is not an untried plant which the founders have acquired, but one which has already given proofs of its excellence. It was only the advantage of obtain ing a cheaper labour market than can be found In the United States that has induced them to work the business in Japan.

It is an artablished fact that the principal factories in the United States in seven years paid 300 per cent, dividend on a capital of Six Million Dollars; and that was done on a wage |basis of $1.50 (gold) per operative, the factores employing six thousand hands. If the difference In the rate of labour in this country is taken into consideration the operations of the Company will be assured to realise to the fail the expects. tions of the founders. The profits of watch- making are based entirely on the price of labour. It is not in the labour market only that an advantage will be obtained, Coal and other materials can be purchased in this country st a lower rate than in the United States. And
