The following commendatory notice 
from the Ladies' Floral Cabinet. Henry 
T. Williams, editor, is a sufficient en¬ 
dorsement; “ .We have specially tested 
it in this office for several weeks. It 
was received at first with great doubt, 
not thinking it possible that so cheap 
an article could be worth much. To our surprise it lias 
proved as accurate as the best $200 watches, runs with the 
very best regularity, obeys the regulator immediately, and 
appears perfectly sensitive to its slightest change. It will 
run one to two days without re-wiriding, is very neat and 
pretty, and thus far lias answered every purpose claimed for 
it, and been fully as accurate and reliable as any clock of 
twenty times its worth. We think it well worth the money.”
