New WaItham Movement.
nfEnr No O0Z

A 5000 solid gold Watch cannot be bought
for $40, but THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
offers Watch under the above number that
has all the appearance and most of the
good qualities of a 5000 Watch. You have
never seen q Watch like this and your
ieweler has not either, although the works
are familiar to any jeweler, so that In case
of accident there would be no trouble in
getting it repaired. You must therefore
depend upon us for the description of the
latest, handsomest, and best Watch made
by the great American Waltham Watch
Factory. Time and money have been liter
ally squandered in bringing this particular
Watch to perfection. The movement Tor
works. is made according to the celebrated
Watham Riverside model, in which the two
nickel winding wheels are plainly seen.
The case is the thinnest filled watchcase
ever made. Remember, we mean that the
Watch when closed in the pocket is thin.
The lids Of the case are the usual thickness,
and form perfect protection for the move
ment. 1t will not take up much room in
the pocket. This case is made of plate of
fine composition metal over which two
heavy sheets Of lax. gold are drawn making
case that is for all purposes as good as
solid gold, and warranted for 20 years.
written guarantee accompanies each Watch.
Every part which is subjected to constant
wear, such as the ring, thumb-piece, joint
plugs, hinges, etc, is of solid gold. The
works are especially recommended where
the most accurate time is required. This Is
just the watch for doctors, lawyers, clergy
men, Post Commanders, and all others who
wish q really first-class article. AS apresent
to the Commander of your Post, it cannot
be excelled. 1t is so thin and convenient in
form that it will even make good and sat
isfactory ladies' watch, and it is especially
recommended for school teachers and other
professional women on account of its accu-
racy, which is equaled by no watch made
especially for ladies.
After Jan. we are unable to say what
the price will be, and we reserve the right
to withdraw this offer at any time. We will
send this watch by registered mail to any
of our sn hscrjhers for $40

being ornamented with engraving repre-
senting the elegant texture of damask from
which it takes its name. Both movements
have compensation expansion balance and
safety piniOn, which, in case of accident,
takes up the recOl of the main spring.

rial, every part Of which has been tested !;

same time fine and accurate, and calculated
to stand rough usage.
