How Watch Gases are Mdds.

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 soldered together, requiring . great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave il the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
ofthe 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 softensit.
To test tho superiority Of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of on. weight,
press II squarely in tho center when closed,
and il will not give, while case Of same
weight Of any other make will give enough
tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

all interested, and although she had the best
medical attention she grew worse, until she
