THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS WATCH.
Magnificent Time Piece Which Can be
Secured by One HOcr's Work,

Every well regulated citizen ought
to have a watch. It matters not
whether he be white or black, Jew or
Gentle, Catholic or Protestant, the
man to whom time is an object needs
a ticker to guide his movements. So
then, In the first place, everybody get
a watch. In the second place, get a
good watch. In the third place, get
it at a rock bottom price.
How?
That is an easy proposition. You
don't need any money. You have two
friends-intelligent, public spirited
friends-whO appreciate a frst-class
newspaper, and who also feel a per-
sOnaI interest in your happiness.
Go directly to them and explain that
if each will give you a years subscrip-
ton to The COlOred American-$2.0 90
each, and they get more than value re-
ceiVed-yOu will secure a fine watch
free. No one can lOse-eVery party to
the transaction made happy. The ar
rangement can be made in a couple Of
hours-pick out your people. Or send
one yearly subscription at $500 and
add S1.OO to it-$3.0O in all-and you
get the watch. Again, if you are in
a big hurry, and want to deal directly
for cash, we will as a special induce
ment, let you have the same watch for
1925. Now, try some OF these PROPOSE
tiOnS. All are simple, and easy Of ac-
cOmplishment.
