How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making Of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldercd together, requiring n great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave it the pliability
OF lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softens it.
To test the superiority Of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 Oh. weight,
press it squarely in the confer when closed,
and 1t will not give, while case Of same
weight Of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.
