The Old Reliable Sell, Thomas Watch,
Open Face.
Offer No. BIB. Mems Size, aJ.

No 3i3 is mems size open face Ameri-
can watch, which is made by the cele-
brated Seth Thomas Company. This COM
pany has for many years enjoyed the
distinction of making the very best clocks
in the world. Having all the machinery
for turning out accurate timepieces, they
have applied themselves to the manufacture
of high-grade watches Thousands of our
subscribers have wished to buy watches
which will keep the most accurate time,
but they have been kept from doing so by
the high prices of other fine watches, and
for their benefit we have at last succeeded
in getting an option upon some of these
world-renowned watches, and we will sell
the first ] 900 at such price that every SUBJ
scriber who needs watch may purchase one.
We have decided to do away with all profits
and to offer the watch at the bare cost of
handling. The regular list price Of this
watch is $3.50; and when the description is
read, subscribers will see why we say so
much about this wonderful bargain. This
watch contains (among many other improve
ments) the world-renowned cut balance
wheel, which is self compensating, and which
neutralizes the effects of heat and cold. The
handspring is made of steel SO highly tenn
pered that, although the watch beats $4,000

and temper for generations The works
are ieweled with precious gems in every
necessary part This means that the watch
is indestructible, because the pinions
run with unequaled smoothness upon the
polished surface of these valuable stones.
The far-famed patent safety pinion" saves
the watch from harm in many cases where
great damage would otherwise be sustained.
The stem-winding and setting apparatus
are of an approved order, and the watch
may be placed in hunting case whenever
the purchaser so desires.
The works present magnificent appear
ance, owing TO the perfection of the finish
and the great care bestowed upon them by
the hundreds of skilled workmen who are
employed in this department
The case of the watch is solid nickel
silver composition metal, just like that on
our $3.50 watch, and it looks and will wear
just like sterling silver. 1t is open face,
and has heavy plate-glass crystal, SO finely
annealed and tempered that it will stand
the most violent strain. We guarantee each
watch to be exactly as represented, or money
will be promptly refunded. We will send
this as a premium for a club of 10 sub
scribers and 1925 added money, or for a club
of subscribers and $3.50 added money. We
will sell it to subscribers only, delivery
guaranteed and prepaid in the United States,

No. GH9.

The above cut conveys q 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 a
price that all veterans may enjoy the pos
session of handsome, durable, and accurate
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The GAR.
Watch is either n Waltham or an Elgin, as
the purchaser may choose. Tie works are
made from the finest selected material Each
contains eleven valuable jewels, tempered
steel springs, compensating expansion bal
ance, patent safety pinion, stem-winding
and pendant-setting apparatus, full plate, a
dust-baDd 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 GAR" badge, the emblem of glorious
service, patient suffering and triumphant
victory, is engraved by hand. AS the for
turate purchaser sees this beautiful reward
of patriotism thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never saw a
GAR" 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 ali may get it, We will
send it for a club of 10 subscribers and So
added money.

We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called Elgin's Pride" No. 1O2, and
to substitute therefor watch made by the
Waltham Company, which we believe will
not be open to the objections which have
been made to the other fsncy-dial watch so
extensively advertised and sold by US. The
hands upon the "Elgin's Pride" were i'm
ported, and great difficulty was found in
fitting them to do satisfactory work. In
our new watches these difficulties have been
obviated by the genius of American work
men, who in all cases of competition have
proved their superiority.
The difficulties we encountered in making
up the "Elgin's Pride" have thus been OBJ
waited by the new product of the American
Waltham Watch Company. The hands and
dial of the new watch are made by the
methods which have proved American me-
chanics famous in this as in all other
branches. In the watches we offer, the
movement, also, is made by the Waltham
Watch Company. This watch will be fur
nished in same fancy engraved case as
"Elgin's Pride" The works are jeweled in
all important parts with precious stones, the
regulator is of an improved pattern; the
handspring is made under Logans great
patents; the dial is handsome beyond our
powers of description, and altogether the
watch looks like 500 time-piece, from
which nobody but an expert can distinguish
it, and that only after most searching ex-
animation. The case is made of solid gold
in two thick plates, stiffened in between
with a sheet of very strong composition
metal. The case guaranteed to wear like
solid gold for Is years. In every way this
watch is bound to prove one of the most
magnificent and satisfactory articles we have
yet sent out
This watch Is the famous thin model, and
resembles the world-renowned Waltham
Riverside" in all important points. We
will sell this watch to subscribers only, de-
livery guaranteed and prepaid, as follows:
