the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time number is drawn. which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of a number further payment of
that number cease. The remaining members
0ess one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
