FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH

Is THE REST
1t is made on the best principle while the for ign
watch is generally made on no principle ut all. The
foreign watch is mostly made by and boys ,by
hand While their labor is cheap, their work is dear
at any price. Such watches are made without plan
and sold without guarantee. They are irregular in
constructium and quit. as irregular in movement
They designed only to sell and the buyer Is the
party mot thoroughly sold. Those who have kept
tanrre-, "epincs, and Swiss levers in profcssc
repair for few years will appreciate the truth of
statement.
THE PLAN OF TuE AMERICAN wtrCH.
Instead of being made of several hundred little
Watch /, formed Of Soii Ii,f.s No jar intcrfercs
with The harmony of its working and sudden
shock ean throw its machinery out ot gear. In rid
ing any business pursuit, 1t is held together n
firmly "a single piece of metal. 1t is just what all
machinery should be
ist ACCURATE, I'd sIMI'LE, Cd STRONG,

We not only secure ChtapncsS hy our systcm hu,
ouahty. We do not pretend that our watch can be
bought for less money than the foreign make btftrss
hu, that for its real value it Is sold for onehlf the
price.
