An Interesting Exhibit at the Worlds
Fair.
One of the most attractlveAn inter-
esting exhibits at the Worlds Fair is
that of the Keystone Watch Case Co.,
OF Philadelphia, which enjoys the
unique distinction of being the largest
watch case manufacturing concern In
world. The exhibit is centrally loca-
ted in Section o, Block /, Of the Manu-
features and Liberal Arts Building, on
the main or Columbia side. The booth
is designed and finished on scale of
richness that admirably harmonizes
with the goods exhibited. A pavilion
classicalIy proportioned, quantity
carved, and finished in ivory and gold,
forms an imposing background; while
the showcases, with their lavisby ex-
pensive finish, are fitting repository
for their glittering contents. Every
possible description of watch case is
nnmerously illustrated, and In q
variety of designs that reveals the
limitless ingenuity of the modern gold
worker.
The enormous factories of this Com
pany occupy an entire block of ground
in the Quaker City, give employment
to 1900 individuals, and have an out
put of about 1000 watch cases per day
The entire resources of the concern are
confined to the manufacture of cases
only, just as the entire resources of the
Elgin and Waltham factories are
limited to the manufacture of move
ments only. Not a few of our readers
may learn now for the first time that
the cases and works of the watches In
their pockets are made in different
factories, having no connection what
ever with one another manufac-
turing and movement manufacturing
being entirely distinct industries. The
Keystone cases are made by machinery
Of the most complicated character,
much of which was invented by and is
The exclusive property of this Com.
Dany. They are also the sole pro-
orietors of many well-known patents,
The now world-famed thiefproof Non
Bow being one of the most
7alued. All their products, the best
Known of which are the popular Jas.
Boss Filled Cases, are handled by our
ocal jewellers. s
Besides watch cases the exhibit has
many special features that are as in
trqctive as curious. One of these is a
In four-ounce Leader sii- siii
'er case which continues to tick +
'landly though weight of three hun J.
red pounds is resting on the case. i
Another interesting curio is silver v
ase weighing five pounds seven s
unces, and complete in every respect. t
t contains regular American move I
nent, which it both winds and sets. L
here are also shown many old and b
urious watches of all kinds, shapes ]
nd sizes, made within the past three '
undred years, many of them of his
oric and all of mechanical interest. t
