A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
rs THE BEST.

1t Is made on the best principle, while the
foreign watch is generally made on no prln-
ciple at all. The foreign watch is mostly
made BY women and boys, BY HAND. While
their labor is cheap, their work is dear ct any
price. Such watches are made without plan,
and sold without guarantee. They are irreg-
ular in construction, and quite as Irregular
in movement. They ate designed only TO
sell. and the buyer is the party most thor
ouohly sold. Those who have kept "ancres,"
and ''lepines" and "Swiss levers in professed
repair for few years will appreciate the
truth of our statement
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made of several hundred
little pieces, screwed together, the body of
the American Watch is formed of SOLID
PLATES. No jar interferes with the harmo-
nv Of its working, and no sudden shock can
throw its machinery out OF gear. In riding,
or any business pursuit, it is all held together
as firmly as single piece of metal. 1t is Just
what all machinery should be
Ist. ACCURATE. ID. SIMPLE. Sd STRONG.
4t4. ECONOMICAL.
We not only secure CEEAPEESS by our
system, but QUALITY. We do not pretend
that our Watch can be bought for less money
than the foreign make believes, hu: that for its
real value it is sold for one-half the price.
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH (named Wm.
Ellery) is what its name indfcates-Solid,
Substantial, and always Reliable-warranted
to stand any amount of Marching, Riding or
Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF
WATCH (named P. S. Bartlettl is similar in
size and general appearance, but has more
Jewels. and a more elaborate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought
out, is put up in a great variety of patterns,
many of them of rare beauty and workman
ship, is quite small, but warranted to keep
time.
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH is
neat not large, and just the thing for the
pocket of Young America.
THE PROOF of the merits of our Watch
NAV be found in the fact that we now employ
over seven hundred workmen in our factories,
and that we are still unable to supply the
constantly increasing demand.
OUR THREE QUARTER PLATE WATCH
is thinner and lighter than the others we have
described rs fine c.fronomT:er balance is
dekcately adjusted to correct the variation
caused by changes Of temperature. These
watches are the fruits of the latest expert
meuts in chrOnometry, and are made by our
best workmeu, in a separate department of
our factory. For the finest time-keeping
queities they challenge comparison with the
best works of the most famous English ard
Swiss makers.

E=Neuo Case Settlcd-NaTrfed Womcn In
terested-In the late case of Baringer VS..
Stover, carried up from Bucks county to the
Supreme Court of the State, new point has
been decided as to the rights of married
women. Judge Agnew, who rendered the
opinion, says;
The question in this case was "whether q
married woman who has no separate estate
or known means of payment of her own can
re-purchase from purchaser at sherifs sale
the property which had been sold as her hus-
bands, who continued in debt, by giving
mortgage for the whole purchase meney, all
of which remains unpaid"
Judge Agnew discusses this question at
considerable length, cites numerous authori-
ties, and decides in the negative. He says,
in conclusion:
awe adhere to the settled doctrine that it
is only when the property acquired after mar
riage, has been paid for with her own sepa-
rate estate, clearly and satisfactorily estab-
lished, it is hers (the wife's), and is protected
from her husbands creditors.
ITO suffer wife 10 purchase on credit, is
to open a wide door for fraud. Its effect is
to throw upon the creditors the burden of
proving whose funds afterwards enter into
the payment. For, starting with title founded
on her credit, she must stand upon it Until
the husbands means shall be shown to enter
into the purchase. The judgment is affirmed.
