S' MURRAY'S^ rUAKE TIME BY THE FOR JL LOCK.” The circumstances of social life are widely different in these colonies from those at Home, and therefore the colonial market requires different treatment. This fact Robert Murray, PRACTICAL WATCHMAKER, East street, Ashburton, was not long in learning after his arrival on these shores, and he at once set his attention upon supplying WATCHES, which, while constructed with every regard to accuracy and reliableness in time-keeping, are also supplied with extra heavy cases, to resist the wear and tear of colonial life. He has just received an other supply of watches, and invites attention to prices. Celebrated Englisn levers, made expressly for R. Murray, specially suited for colonial wear, with extra heavy cases, all the latest improvements, at L 6, L 6 6s, L 6 10s ; higher classes, L 7, L 8 10s, LlO 10s, and Ll2 12s; Rotherhams, L 6 10s.
