F. JBJLACK, PRACTICAL WATCH & CLOCK MAKER, EAST STREET, ASHBURTON. - UNDER THE MANAGEMENT "oF MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze MedaUist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. .> . • - Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. ' - Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. ' ' ' First Award of Merit as a Workman frrm the People's Palace Exhibition, London MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at tli9 British Horologicil Institute, and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competont to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. ' He has noticed, while in the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one ' but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing » valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of" the hands of un trained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK- Stopping and Troublesome Watches THOROUGHLY CUBED. BE SURE OF THE ADDRESS— !' F.
