HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1. will be apparent toany one who Will eL-
anime IA solid gold watch that aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing IL large proportion of the rreei-
Gus metal used is needed only to s'iffen
and hold the engraved portions IL! place,
and supply the necessary sOl,dity and
stlength. The surplus gold is actually
needless far as utility and beauty are
concerned. In James BOSS PAIENt
GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of pre-
cious metal is overcome, aud the SAME
solidity and strength are produced,
at from 1-3 to 1-2 of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is OF tn" most simple
nature, as follows: A plate of nickel com
position metal, specially adapted to the
purpose. has two plates of solid gold SOL
dered one ON each side. The three are
then passed between polished steel rollers,
and the result is strip of heavily plated
composition, from which the cases. backs,
centres, beZels, etc. are cut and shaped by
suitable dies and formers. The gold in
these cases is sufficiently thick to admit
of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
| enamclling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by
time and use without removing the gold.
They are for sale by all jewellers, and each
case is warranted by ,pecial certificate.
For sale by all jewellers. Ask for illus

He was n native of Oxford. n. ",

member Of the Baptist church, in
which he held the Office of Deacon,
and was also superintendent OF the
