The following are Specimen Testimonials just received from this District : — "To Stewart Dawson & Co., "Auckland. «■ Thames, 18th April, 1884. Dear Sir,— Seeing that you are in Auckland, I wiiteto say that nearly five years n^o I sent to Liverpool for one of \our English Silver Levers as advertised for £3 15s. I duly received the watch, and my *on (William Thorburn) has carried it every day since then at his work —mining, bush work, riding, etc., and it !ms never cost him one penny for repairs. The watch is a splendid timekeeper, and A-ould cost in Auckland at least Ten Guinoas. My son could have sold the w iitch a score of times, for double the price that it eoet him, but would not part ,vith it on any account. I may ateo say that I know several here who have sent for your watches, and they have given the gi eatest satisfaction. You are at perfect liberty to publish this if you wish, as I am welt known here. " I remain youra truly, " Wm. Lang Thorbdrn, Engineer, " Tararu, Thames." " Tararu, Thames, April 26th, 1884. •"Messrs Stewart Dawson &Co., " Dear Sirs, — About four yearsago when in want of a watch, I was recommended to send to your establishment at Liverpool for ose oi your £3 15s English Silver Hunting Levere. I did so, and received the same. I have carried the watch about with me every day bince ; it is an excel- lent timekeeper/ and has stood lots of ' knocking. about, without being in any way affected. By the nature of my business I am constantly tiding, and on one occa- sion the* horse I was riding fell, and I was tin own to the ground with such force as In smash the gla?.B into atoms, but the watc,h ,did not ntop, and it keeps as correct time jiojv.as it did when' l first received it. {i l am, yours' truly, " Richard H. Ellis, Storekeeper, - i - •;? t * ' "Tardru,, Thames." ,
