John M'Cabe, Watch and clock-maker, from Dublin, has opened
shop, at the sign of the Dial, opposite the Coffee-house in
Market-Street, Baltimore, where he carries on said branches
in an extensive manner, and having conducted business for
many of the most capital artists in London, Dublin, and
Liverpool, he can, under the testimony of their approbation
of his abilities, and fixed determination to pay the
strictest attention to business, assure the public that he
is enabled to execute and furnish them with watches and
clocks of the following kinds, equal, if not superior, in
elegance of workmanship and accuracy of construction, to any
imported, and upon reasonable terms, viz. plain, repeating,
horizontal, step, or second watches; musical clocks, to go
either by springs or weights: astronomical, chime, quarter,
and plain ditto adjusted with balance, common, or compound
pendulums; also turret, or steeple clocks, constructed to
endure for a long continuance of time: Any of which, ladies
and gentlemen may be furnished with, and no money be
expected until the test of proof shall confirm their
intrinsic value. He likewise makes spring clocks for
mariners, with sun's motion in the arch of the dial, which
will keep time on a principle, he believes, superior to any
hitherto practised; as a proof whereof, he will suffer them
to be tried two or three voyages at sea before he requires
payment. -- He also makes electrical aparatus, and air
pumps; and repairs orreries, reflecting and solar
telescopes, land and sea compasses &c. Baltimore February
24 1774.
