Bsns Facts Concerning the Sale ana Pro-
duction of OPcn-Facod Watches.
In this country almost everybody
farries a watch. Probably niDe-tenths
Of the men, great numbers of women
and many Young people carry watches.
in the best trade Of the city many more
watches of gold are sold than of silver;
Of all the witches sold throughout the
country about IS per dent. are of gold.
The percentage Of gold watches is iu-
creasing. Tho fashionable watch of
the day is open-faoed. The sale Of
open-faced watches IL Increasing, es-
pecialiy in fine watches, but it is IN
creasing also in watches Of other
grades. OF fine gold watches sold in
the city probably two-thirds are now
made cpen-faced. OF all the watches
sold in the United States. gold and sil-
yer, probably from q quarter to a third
are now made open-faced.
The modern watch has for oGe Of it's
characteristics thinness. A mans
watch, which is now made more e.
pecially to wear with evening dress
and is all the time growing in favor.
is plain. thin, open-faccd gold watch
which takes up but little room in the
pocket. Perfect in its simplicity, this
watch is at the same time of fine work
manship and great beauty. 1t sells
at $3.50. A gold watch not SO thin nor
SO finely finished, but q very handsome
modern witch and an excellent time
keeper, by the same makers and bear
ing their name, oan be bought in open-
face, the case of 1s-carat gold, for sos;
in double case, for $40. But gold
watches and good watches, too, can BE
bought for very much less than these
prices; in fact. there never wes time
when watches generally were made in
such tasteful shapes, OF when they
were so good for the money or so cheap
rs now.
Taking an the grades together, the
American production of watches is
about 1000 daily; the importation Of
watches amounts to about the same
number. One might at first wonder
