Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horologica' Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a "Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, London MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British Horological Institute and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless j he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be eutrusted to him. He has noticed, while m the colony, that watches arc very often entirely Hpoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No on« but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there i» 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 uu* trained men. o——— ■ ■ ■ . . , All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.
