I am largely over stocked with clocks, watches, and jewel lery, especially watches, having over 400 good strong watches at all prices to select from (which is the largest stock of watches in one shop in New Zealand), and I am expecting about the same num ber more by .the coming steamers, so, if you want a really good, serviceable time keeper you will not lose this opportunity of either sending or coming down your selves to get one. All watches are war ranted from two to five years, and if proved not genuine the money will be re turned, with interest at the rate of six per cent, added. To reduce the stock all.goods will be sold at wholesale price during the next three mpnths. Genuine Rotherham s English hunting, levers, capped and jewel led, from L 4 155.; genuine Waltham watches from L2 10a ; Ladies’ watches, “Hall marked,” English silver cases, from LI 15s ; Peep.o' day.alarm clocks, 10s 6d. The above are a few of the leading lines ; all other goods are proportionally low in prices. Having such a large and varied stock of watches, ch cks, and jewellery it would take too much space to enumerate every article. Come and inspect my stock and judge for yourselves. Every article marked in plain figures. Note the address: J. F. STRATZ, Practical Watchmaker, 261, High street, Trian le. Christchurch.
