HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In u SOLID GoLp WATCH, aside from
tho necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, large proportion Of metal Is
needed only to stiilen and hold the engray-
cd portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and soLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by Il simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldcrcd on each side Of plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc, arc 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 without removing the gold. This as
the only case made ander this process. Each
case is accompanied wiM a raid guarantee
signed By The manufacturers Cdrranting IL TO
wear 20 years. 10000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.
