SALBK, WATCHMAKER, JEWELLER, and OCULIST'S OPTICIAN. AST STREET, ASHBURTON E M —_ o: UNDER TH ANAGEMENT OF MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze Medalist for Watchmaking, London, 1887.. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute, Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London! •' ' Firs, Award of Merit as a Workman ffcm the People's Palace Exhibition, Londo. MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British HorologicaMnstitute and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches^ one a key winder and one keylesg ; he is therefore thoroughly competent 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 a valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. \ll work will now be done personally by MR BLACK. Stopping and Troublesome Watches THOROUGHLY CURED. Chertsey, June 7, 1892. s Mr Andrew Black, Aahburton. Dear Sir,—ln reply to your enquiry about the watch lam now wearing, I always like to give " honer to whom honor is due," and I am glad to state that ever since you repaired the watch it has given perfect satisfaction. The watch is a Rothcrham and a good one. I left it with two different watchmakers in Ashburton and one in Christchurch before taking it to you, but none of these gentlemen were able to repair it; and make it go satisfactorily.—Yours truly, Nicholas Wemh.
