that oUr frequently separated from our move
aud into worthless o. other makers
thus affecting Juriousy the performance
OF and vitiating guarantee which is IN
tended TO cover only complete watches wholly made
1t is necessary also because II Is 90 notorious as
be public scandal that there is great Maud In the
fetal quality of both gold and silver cases as now gene
rally sold. We have demonstrated by frequent assays
that many gold and silver cases offered In the market are
debased from from 10 TO ~ per cent in'm tne qnAl'

things cheap, being ignorant that they do not know
when they get them nasty alsn ignorant that they
neither whether they give man his due
that the manufacturers called are SO set on
carrying competition its utmost, competition Of
cheIpness not of excellence that they meet the bargain
hunters half way and cheeruy furnish them with nasty
cheap price they asked for by means OF
