A Curiosity.

J.E. Adcox, head watchmaker er for our
popular jeweler, Harry G. Lieoe, has, in
anticipation of the formation of a watch
trust by the watch manufacturers
throughout the country, taken the
initiative by making watch composed
of parts of all the watches manufactured
IN this country, including some of the
parts. of foreign make. Following is a
list of parts: The plates are that of an
18-size three-fourth plate Waterbury
Seth Thomas balance cock :; 16 size
Elgin balance; Aurora balance staff and
roller Waltham pallits and fork; How
ard hair spring and collet; Rockford es-
cape wheel and roller jewel; Hampden
pallet stones; Columbus cock and foot
jewels; Swiss pallet bridge. Other
jewels are assorted, and the wheels and
pinions are mixture. He has the thp
plate highly ornamented with silver and
flaming jewels and bearing this inscrip-
tion, the fret mentioned bearing the
name: "The Trust capital. $50 300 900.
Patented May, 1899. No. 1, 81 Jewels
The watch is an. excellent time piece,
being SO finely adjusted that its varia-
tions are but little more than one sec
ond per day.
Mr.. Adcox doesn't know just how
much time he expended on the watch at
he had to do the work at odd momentt
when the "boss" ~as out. He says thai
it seems to him that Harry has haG
mighty little business ont of late as b.
could seldom put in more than half ar
hour per day on his watch. Some day
could not even take it from its hidini
place.
