Watches of all sorts, viz.  Plain, horizontal, repeating,
and striking, sold and repaired in the cheapest and best
manner:  Likewise, clocks, musical and plain, equal in
quality, and cheaper than can be imported from Europe, made
and sold by Ebenezer Smith Platt, between Beekman's and
Burling's Slip, in the lower street, New-York.
  The advertiser wants an apprentice, about 14 years old,
with a good character.
