Watches. As many people are put to expence to no purpose by
those who undertake to repair their watches, and many good
pieces of work spoiled or damaged by unskillful
practitioners, John Simnett, citizen of London, and
principal manufacturer in England and Ireland, inventor of,
and skeleton watch-finisher, continues to clean and repair
at the same price as in London; and for the convenience of
gentlemen in or near Boston, will pay the carriage to and
fro, for all watches sent by Mr. Noble's stage, to me
opposite Mr. Stavers's Tavern, Piscataqua, or Portsmouth.
And as I intend to return home next summer, undertake as
bespoke, to supply those of the trade, merchants, or private
gentlemen with all manner of plain, horizontal or repeating
watches, and small ones for rings; also plain, chime,
machine, organ and astronomical clocks.
All watches of the name Upjohn, or Story clean'd gratis.
[hand pointing right] An assortment of gold and silver
watches for sale.
