No. 800.

The above cut conveys good idea OF
one Of the great GAR Watches made
expressly for our subscribers. So many have
called for them that we have at last decided
to sell these elegant Watches at 80 low
price that all veterans may enjoy the pos
session of handsome, durable and accurate
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The GAR.
Watch is either q Waltham or an Elgin, as
the purchaser may choose. The works are
made from the finest selected material. Each
contains eleven valuable jewels, tempered
steel springs, compromising expansion bal
ance, patent safety piniOn, stem winding
and pendant-setting apparatus, full plate, q
dust-band that excludes every particle Of
dust, quick train, jeweled balance, selected
porcelain dial, and all the latest and greatest
Improvements. The case is made of nickel
silver, composition just as handsome and
durable as coin silver. The case is dust
proof, and need never be opened, because
the Watch winds by turning the crown
Tor stem, and sets by pulling it out till it
clicks, then pressing it back into place after
setting, wonderful feature that makes this
Watch unique On the back of this case
the "G.A.R R." badge, the emblem of glorious
service, patient suffering and triumphant
victory, is engraved by hand. AS the for
tunate purchaser sees this beautiful reward
of patriotism thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never saw q
"G.A.R." badge, but who gave up their lives
in battle. This Watch is well worth double
what we ask for it, but we have placed the
price so low that all may get it. We will
send it for a club of 10 subscribers and IS
added money.
For sale. delivery guaranteed, for 1925

WATCHES REDUCED.
An Opportunity for Our Subscribers
to Take Advantage Of
Cut Prices.

The Elgin and Waltham Companies have
announced this week an important reduction
in their most popular grades of Ladies'
Watches. This will be the first announce
ment of the fact which thousands of jewelers.
in the country will receive. Many Of them
will not be very prompt in announcing the
reduction, on account of its bearing upon
stock they are carrying. We take the first
opportunity to inform our subscribers of
the fact, and to give them chance to buy
watches under it. In our opinion this re-
duction cannot be permanent and should
the manufacturers again put the price back
we must, of necessity, follow suit. We
therefore advise prompt action, as we must
reserve the right to withdraw the offers at
any time without previous notice. We be-
lieve, in point of fact, that rock bottom"
80 to speak, has been more than reached in
these standard goods. T"~p Ea-
