WHY?

DERsoNs OFTEN WONDER, and sometimes ask, how the dollar trade through
l. tut the country is able to sell goods so low. The reason is simple enough-it is
not because the goods are stolen or bought at bankrupt sales not because they are
damaged or badly made, but because WEI make it our business to ascertain where the
articles aem manufactured and to buy strictly in large quantities and at special rates
from manufacturers and importers, and thus save the profits which usually go to
mddle1men-whoesaed dealers and jobhers. When persons reflect how many hands

customers, knowing that their good sense will lead them to buy where they can buy
cheapest.

the prices which they have heretofore, n are now paying for goods in my Inc

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GoLD WATCH.
that aside from the necessary thick
ness for engraving and polishing, a
large proportion of the precious metal
used is needed only to stiffen or hold the
engraved portions il place, and sup.
ply the necessary solidity and
strength. The surplus gold is actually
needless so far as utility and beauty are
concerned, In JAMES BOSS PAT.
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
WASTE of precious metal is overcome,
and the SAME soLiDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one
half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple ma
ture, rs follows, a plate of nickle COM
position m etal, especially adapted to
the purpose, has two plates of SOLID
GOLD soldered on each side. Thethree
are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, centers, bezels, &C.,
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 enam-
cling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by
time and use without removing the
gold.
This is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID
GOLD AND WARRANTED BY
SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.
