The Origin ortne watch club.

The watch clubs have done more TO
"boom" the trade in gold watches than
most people would imagine. How :?
Well. suppose you were a workman in a
factory earning enough to make COM
Portable living, well say, but not enough
10 invest in a gold watch. One day you
find that the man who works beside you
is wearing a fiue gold timekeeper
through watch club, of which no is a
member. and winch costs him only 81
per week for about a yesr, say. He
doesn't miss the money so much
that way, and the jeweller who or
ganizes the club is also fully pro-
tected and cannot lose a cent Some
one of the meml ers will be lucky enough
to draw watch the first week, and 50 on
until every one of them is supplied.
Under the circumstances you'll find
yourself very strongly temped to join or
else invest some OF your savings for
watch.
Give heard several conflicting state
ments as to the origin OF the watch-club
system. ard the one nearest the truth is
that II was the invention Of Newark
matchmaker. The originator, however,
OF the club idea was firm of piano
makers of that same city. Finding
themselves with q stock Of pianos more
than adequate to supply the regular de-
msnd, they hit upon the idea of getting
enough S. subscriptions TO pay for one
piano, and then allowing the subscribers
to draw slips from ballot box, on one of
which was printed an order for the piano,
the others being blank. This was after
ward changed to the system as at pres
ent employed by the watch-club or
ganizers.
at proved so successful that small
matchmaker hit upon the idea Of substi-
tuting watch for piano, and his sue
cess more than exceeded his most san
guine expectations. Now there are watch
clubs in active operation all over the
country. and they seem 70 work to the
satisfaction OF all concerned"
Goddard d Moses, as usual, were the
first to take the watch clubs in hand
here, and up to this time they have seven
clubs organized, with the eighth one
almost filed. Call at 800 Main street and
enter your name for gold watch to lie
paid for at the rate Of 81 week.

aeorre a. A,n.,.e Coz mayor.

Mr.. Ainslio's life in this community IS
one OF which no has reason to be proud,
and which has contributed not a little to
the growth and prosperity OF his native
city.
lie was left an orphan at IN early age.
He was apprenticed to trade IN this
CITY. and for years followed it. His in
dustry and energy enabled him to start
in business on his own account, and the
establishment which he has founded is
one of our principal business houses.
Himself a nottingham, he has always
been their true friend. His success has
been their success. During his long and
useful career he has always retained the
respect, confidence, and good will OF the
large number o. skilled mechanics with
whom he has for forty-seven years
shared the profits of his factory.
He has drawn from all classes OF our
citizens well-deserved praise for his etli-
cient discharge OF the duties and respon-
sibilities OF the various public Offices
which he has filed. Asa member Of
the Common Council and of the Board
OF Police Commissioners Mr. Ainslie was
ever watchful of the city's interests.
Chosen Chief of the Fire Department
AS long as he would retain the position,
he introduced every improvement cslcu-
lated TO save life and property, and
brought that department to high state
of efficiency. President of the Chamber
OF Commerce, he has become thoroughly
familiar with the city's needs and the
measures necessary to advance her growth
and progress. The Mechanics Institute
from It's incipiency enlisted his warmest
support, and to forward that enterprise,
which Is doing such good work in edu-
eating and training our young mechanics,
George Ainslie has spared neither time
nor labor.
Mr.. Ainslie would not have been elect
cd and re- eIected to these various posi-
tons unless he possessed administrative
and executive ability.
1t should be remembered that there
are no salaries attached to these Offices.
Mir. Ainslie has held them because he
thought it his duty to serve his fellow
citizens in any manner calculated to adj
vance the interest OF the community.
Mr.. Ainsle has never been known as
q political wire-puller or chronic Office
seeker, but has always been an efficient
worker in the ranks of the Democratic
party. aud one of the most liberal CON
tributors to the necessary campaign
funds
George A. Ainslie is eminently rep
resentative man. Commencing life IN
the workshop, the successful business
which his industry and capacity have
built up is conclusive proof that the al
fairs Of this city would be equally as
well served by lis election as Mayor.
His election would be III the interest
OF good government, and would be a
deserved honor to worthy citizen, who,
MS man ont Of business (having turned
it over to bis sons, can devote his entire
time to the requirements OF the Office,
and his friends confidently ask for bis
nomination at the Democratic Primary.
