VOR the attainment of habits of punctuality—for the
ju regulation of the usual routine of business and every-day life—
for the Morning's timely arousement, and the Evening's sufficient
repose —and for other and innumerable purposes of convenience,
necessity, and pleasure, much in reality depends on the judicious
selection of a Timekeeper ; and even the character of a young man
has been known to be much influenced by the quality of his Watch—
the possessor of an accurate timekeeper becoming ambitious to
emulate its excel ence.,and thus gradually requiring habits remark-
able for punctuality.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH WATCH
AND CLOCK CLUB.
THE Public are respectfully informed that the Twenty-
Fifth Watch and Clock Club is now commencing, at 71, St.
James's-street. One of the most striking characteristics of the age
we live in is the growing business habits developing themselves
among all classes of the people. Every one who has any pre-
tensions to improvement—wishes to rise in society, or even to fulfil
with eclat the common engagements as private individuals, must
have the means of ascertaining the correct time ; hence the great
demand in a commercial town like Liverpool for good clocks and
watches. As one means of satisfying this demand, Thos. BOTT
and Co. have instituted their Watoh and Clock Clubs, by joining
which persons may obtain first-rate articles at the lowest cash
price, and pay fbr the same by easy weekly instalments, upon per-
fectly safe and equitable principles. The plan, summed up in a
few words, is the following : T. B. & Co. undertake to provide
good patent lover watches, capped and jewelled, with maintaining
power to make them go while winding up, hard enamelled dials
with seconds, double-bottom cases, in every respect good and ser-
viceable articles, each of which is warranted for £5. Now, if each
person wanting a lever watch were to put by individually 2s per
week, each person would be fifty weeks, or nearly twelve months,
before he or she could purchase a watch ; but, by joining together
in a club, there may be sufficient to pay for one every week. We
will say there are fifty members-2s from each makes a fund of £5
each week, just sufficient fora tratch ; consequently a watch can
be had at the lowest cash price er'es.y week during the fifty nights
the club continues. Each night it is determined by ballot who
shall have the watch. The person winning the first night gets a
bondsman, has his watch, and of course his name not put in again,
but goes on paying is each week during the fifty weeks. The
second week all the other names are put in, and some one else gets
one, and so it goes on until all are supplied. It will be seen, by
this method, that the person who may be so unlucky as to be the
last, only pays for it before he has it, the same as he would have
done had he not joined. Xembers may pay as much more as they
like, or pay up at anytime.
Clocks or Jewellery can be Iliad in the same manner, and articles
of higher value by paying the difference. Thus a £lO gold watch
would be 4s per week, a £l2 les ditto 5s per week, a £l5 ditto Gs
per week, or in that to the amount.

The iminagement Of the club ,is entirely in the hands 9f the
members.

Any further information may ,be had by applying at 71, St.
James's street, where a great variqty of watchel and clocks may be
seen as specimen's of work, or 102, Qbester-street, Birkenhead.
