Ac., ’ 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 FROM 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 hiss just been opened, a portion of which was bespoken.
