SIL YER WATCHS!

racy of movement, beauty of material, and
above all, cheapness in price, these watches
must insure universal appreciation.
An imitation so faultless that it can hard E
ly be detected by the most experienced
judges. The material being of two metals,
the outer one first quality Sterling Silver,
while the inner one is German Silver, it can
not be recognised by cutting or heavy en-
craving, making it, not in appearance, but
in durability, the best resemblance of SOL
I'D STERLING SILVER in existence.
The sale of these Watches in the Army is
a source of enormous profit, retailing, as
they very readily do, at S25 and upwards.
Many hundred dollars can be made in sin
gle pay day by any one ofordinary business
tact.
ReApAT WHOLESALE ONLY In heavy

Upon receipt oftwo dollars, as guarantee
of good faith, we will send watches by ex-
press to any part of the loyal States, collec-

sures buyers against fraud, giving them
their watches before payment is required.
