A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, 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

needed strength, stiffness and Solidity, while
the uritten guarantee of the manufacturers
uarranting each case to wear t,oenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of

II is mete that some expression of our
regard be given to one so worthy as was
Mr.. John Gordon, whose spirit passed
away from earth on the morning of Oct.
Sth, at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. Barnes, in Cassville, whittier he
had gone for visit, never thinking that
an illness of three months would pre-
cede the summons to better land.
Mr. Gordon was born in Kentucky, in
1910, but came to Grant county in 1887,
where he endured the hardships of pion-
eel life with that fortitude which char
acterized the early settlers of Wisconsin.
His first home was in Patch Grove,
where he buried the mother OF
seven of his children. He afterward re-
sided in Glen Haven. in Iowa and Viro-
qua, were he laid away in their silent
resting-p places son, two daughters of a
second marriage and their mother be-
loved, AL during one year, and all OF
that insidious disease consumption. In
the hour of our country's peril, he
showed his own loyalty by giving one OF
his sons, who early in the war returned
to die in the home of his childhood.
Early in life Mr.. Gordon became mem
Der of the M. Z. Church. and for thirty
five years honored his profession.
When he heard God messenger saying,
1.-The Master is come and calleth for
thee" he was ready to follow the be-
loved ones who had gone before. and at
the age of 73 Laid down the cross to
wear the crown" Four children sur
vive him, who can truly say our loss is

life is better heritage than gold and
lands, for it points to 1.-THE life that now
is and that which is to come"

Injured john Glass, internally, Jacob
Heec, back badly hurt; Fred Staehey.
