PATENT
Self-protecting Watch Pendant
BY
GEORGE SNOWBALL,
18, SPRING STREET, PADDINGTON. W.
* * * * *
THE intention of the Inventor is to give to the owners of valuable
watches the security and confidence hitherto not enjoyed; as it is
unhappily too well-known that the wearer of so useful an article as a
watch is always in danger of having it wrenched from him. In many
instances, gentlemen have discontinued to display their watch guards for
fear of losing the watch attached to it, therefore being under the
necessity of putting away a useful and elegant part of dress.
Watches, made with the above improvement are keyless; the Watch being
wound and the hands set to the time, and the watch itself protected by
this novel invention. The pendant being a universal joint, cannot be
wrenched off.
The Self-protecting Pendant can be fixed to any Watch for a small cost.
The invention has been highly approved of by a number of scientific
gentlemen.

WILLIAM POUND,

THE
UNITED FOREIGN WINE GROWERS’ COMPY.
IN again presenting our Price List to the Public, we beg to thank those
patrons for the kind support they have hitherto bestowed upon us.
We are glad to be able to state that our expectations at the formation of
the Company, have been fully realized. The increasing demand for pure
and wholesome Wines at reasonable prices, has induced us to make
considerable alterations in our premises; our cellar accommodation now
extending under the adjoining houses will enable us to meet any demand
that may be made upon us, and we trust by continuing the practice of
buying direct from the Growers and paying Cash, to be in a position to
save the consumer at least 25 per cent. of the cost. We keep a large
stock of DRAUGHT and BOTTLED WINES here, as also at our Stores, 6 & 7,
Cooper’s Row, Crutched Friars, where we have upwards of 2,000 dozen of
Bottled Wines, of which we solicit an inspection; we also keep a large
stock of CASK and CASED WINES in the London and St Katherine’s Docks,
ready for Shipment for Exportation.
We have declined appointing Agents, as we should be obliged to allow 10
or 15 per cent. Commission, which would necessitate altering our
quotations. Quality when once appreciated, recommends itself, and we
rely upon our Wines to do for us what many of our contemporaries fly to,
by daily advertising.
Soliciting a perusal of our prices, and a trial order, fearlessly
challenging comparison with the Wines of any other house,—We are, Sir,
your obedient Servants,
“THE UNITED FOREIGN WINE GROWERS’ COMPANY.”
