We have seen a number Of watch chains
ornamented with pretty charm in the
shape of a watch case opener, which obvi
ates the use Of knife or tingernail TO open
the watch. They are sent free on request
by the Keystone Watch Case Company, of
Philadelphia, Pa. Your jeweler here may
have one for you; if not, send TO Philadel-
phia.
The Keystone Watch Case Company is
the largest concern of it's kind in the world.
Its capacity is 300 cases per day. 1t man
ufactures every description of case, but it's
great speciality is that most popular of all
watch cases, the Jas. Boss gold filled
These are equal in beauty and wear to solid
gold--while they cost only about half as
much. Boss and other Keystone cases are
the only cases that have the -pull-out
bow or ring, which saves the watch from
theft and accident. The Keystone Company
does not retail, but our local dealers handle
the cases and swear by the theft proof quail
ties of the ring.
