A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Is II HE BE IT.

IS made on the best principle, while the foreign
watch IS generally made no principle at all.
Let Us look At the contrast. The foreign watch is
mostly made by women and boys By hand. While their
labor is cheap their work is dear any price Such
watches are made without plan and sold without guar
sntee They irregular construction and quite as
irregular IN movement. They designed only 10 sell
and the buyer the party thoroughly sold Those
who have kept anchors, !" " lepnes and Swiss lev
ers IN professed repair for few years will appreciate
the truth of our statement.
THE PLAN OF The AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead ofoeng made Of several hundred little pieces
screwed together, the body Of the American watch is
formed Of SOLID PLATES No jar interseres with the
harmony Of is working and sudden shock can throw
lis machinery out Of gear Secession OF part from
another Is unknown 10 its constitution and in riding or
any business pursuit. 1t IS all held together as firmly
as single PeSe Of metal Il IS just what all machinery
should be-
