HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stifien and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Pdsent Gold Watch Cdses this
WASTE is saved, and soLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by simple process,
ut one-half the cost. A plate Of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side Of plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and tho
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, back1
centers, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use withou.. removing the gold. This Is
the only case made under this process. Each
case as accompanied Nth a raid guarantee
signed BY Tie manufacturers udranting Il 10
rear 20 years. 10000 Of these Gases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.

nicely spoken. The essays by Ellie Swan,
Mertie Starbird, and Herbert Russell, were
very good. Higher Aims in Life" by
Miss Swan being full of excellent ideas
and was well read. Annie F. Hayden gave
the history of the class while Nellie An

The declamatlons by Carrie Farrow and
Nathan Dennison were excellent-the
former taking the house by Storm" with

an excellent piece OF composition and was
well recited. The members of the class

difficulty OF speaking in too large hall,
but otherwise than this, everything during
the exercises was satisfactory. After the
presentation of the different diplomas by

French, was sung. The Norway Band
furnished music for the occasion. B.
