PAY
ENOUGH

Some people are to,anxious to save when
buying watch, thinking that q cheap watch
will do as well as good one, and that all the
difference in watches is the price. May be
that it required moral effort on your part
to pay us $40 for plain looking but honest
timekeeper, when somebody else generally
offers you gold watch for $3.50 and-just for
goodness sake-throws in gold chain anes
charm. OF course it isall q tame schwindle, ="
as the Jew said when he went up in the hal
loon and couldn't find the silver lining OF the
cloud 1t happens every now and then that
person sends off for such agold watch, gets 1t,
and then loses faith in watches and humanity
for ever and ever We think 1t would pay
YOU to call on us and see II we have what you
want, and If we can't suit you at all out OF q
large stock of watches, why-it is time enough
then to send out of town for $3.50 gold
watch.
