Making Watches.

Defective watch cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not
fitting we'll, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch, necessitating cleaning, re
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying q good case in the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles OF the jew
elry trade, possessing as it does so many
advantages over all other watch cases, being
made Of two heavy plates of solid gold over a
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their jeweler for card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner In which
they are made.
It is the only stiffened case made with two
plates of gold, seamless pendants, and center.
solid Joints, crown pieces, &C., all of which
are covered by letters patent. Therefore buy
no case before consulting jeweler who keeps
the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, that you may learn the difference be-
| twee it and all limitations that claim to be
| equally as good.
For sale by all responsible jewelers.. Ask to
see the warrant that accompanies each case,
| and don't be persuaded that any other make
of case is as good. apr20-ly

surplus ot money amounting to consid

to ~ 900, with some s., 900 in bills

suggests the need of the closest economy
