MUkinN Patches,

Defective Watch Cases are now one OF
the chief causes of so many watches moi
being good time pieces. The cases being
thin and not fitting well, admit dust and
dirt to the movement, which soon interferes
with 3hc running parts OF the watch necessi-
tating cleaning, repairing, &C., and the
amount thus paid out if applied toward
buying a good case in the beginning. would
have saved ali 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 per
feet. We refer to the JAS. Boss Patent
Stiffened Gold Case which has become one
of the staple articles OF the Jewelry trade
possessing as it does so many advantages
over all other watch cases, being made OF
two heavy plates OF solid gold over plate
OF composition, and we advise all our read
eri to ask their Jeweler for card or cata
loge that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only Stiffened Case made with
two plates of gold, seamless pend ants, and
center, solid joints, crown pieces, &C., all Of
which are covered by letters patent. There
fore Lay no case before consulting a Jewel
er who keeps the JAS Boss Patent Stitfen
ed Gold Case, that you may learn the differ
ence between it and all limitations thai
claim to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible jewelers.
Ask IL see the warrant that accompanie:
each case, and don't be persuaded that any
other make OF case is as good.

ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
riages occur.

disreputable or immoral people. All az
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend
ed before certificates will be issued. Ger
tifcates will not be paid when evidence is
