PAY
ENOUGH

Some people are too anxious to save
when buying a watch, thinking that g
cheap watch will do as well as a good one,
and that all the difference in watches is
the price. May be that 1t required
moral effort on your part to pay us $40 for
plain looking but honest timekeeper,
when somebody else generally offers you
a gold watch for $3.50 and--just for good
ness sake-throws In a gold chain and
charm. OF course II Is all tame
schwindle," as the jew said when he went
up in the balloon and couldn't find the sill
yer lining of the cloud. II happens every
now and then that a person sends of for
a gold watch, gets ii, and then loses faith
in watches and humanity for ever and
ever. We think Il would pay you to call
on us and see IL we have what you want,
and II we can't suit'yo ut all out of u
large stock of watches, why-it Is time
enough then to send out OF town for s2H
gold watch
