This fact Robert Murray, PRACTICAL WATCH AND CLOCK MAKER, JEWELLER. &c., East street, Ashburton, speedily realised, after a short experience of New Zealand. He therefore set about noting the different requirements of the people in regard to his own particular profession, and the result was that he sent home an order for a consignment of WATCHES DIRECT PROM ENGLAND, Specially suited for colonial wear. They were levers made to his express specifications, with all the latest improvements, specially prootected by extra heavy cases, and with minute care bestowed on accurate time keeping. That consignment went off within a month, another followed, and a third has just been opened, a portion of which was bespoken. The prices of these special-class goods compare very favorably with the usual second-rate watches in the market. Attention is called to the Clocks, Jewellery, and English Plate in stock, and to the fact that all kinds of REPAIRING are done on the premises and GUARANTEED. R.
