inability to pay, he will without charge and
will forfeit hundred dollars in every of fail

cold watch can be purchased for much less
now it could fifty years since, and yet gold has
not deieriorated in value, nor are the best
movements any cheaper nor labor any lower.
The reason is, because firs,-class watches
were jewelled with Jond,fde jc'cels, either ru-
bies, topazes, or small damonds while most
of the watches nowadays are 'jewelled' with
bits of quartz or crystal; because the cases
are thinner aud poorer, alloyed greatly and

because the names of the best English makers
are affixed TO cheap Swiss movements which
are thrown upon the market as the genuine
