How Watches are Made.

1t Will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton OF theiprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME sOLIDrTY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual Gust of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of composition metal.
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates OF SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bczels.
&c,, are cut and shaped 10y suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enameIiing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your Jew
eIer does not keep them, send to HAasToZ
q THORPE, Ledger Building, Philadel-
