No. 81. MEMS SIZE ONLY.

We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called Elgin's Pride" No. 102, 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 fancy watch so
extensively advertised and sold by u.s. 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
obyiated 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 "EIgin'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 mo
chanics famous in this rs 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
hair-spring is made under Logan's 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 sx-
animation. The case is made of solid gold
in two thick plates, stiffened in between
with 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:
Full ieweled hunting-cass go

AWATCH MILLION,
The Old Reliable Seth Thomas Watch
Open Face.


No. 3l3 is mems size open face Ameri-
can watch, which is made by the cele-
trated 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
Tor turning out accurate timepieces, they
have applied themselves to the manufacture
of high-grade wa ches. 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 ~ Oh 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 selfcompensating, and which
neutralzes the effects of heat and cold The
hair-spring is made of steel 30 highly tenn
pered that, although the watch beats IS 600
times per hour, it will retain its elasticity
and temper for generations. The works
are jeweled 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 siem-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 a 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. It 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 club of 10 sub
scribers and 1925 added money, or for a club
of 5 subscribers and $50 added money. We
will sell it to subscribers only, delivery
guaranteed and prepaid in the United States
