J. MOSS.

Few are the smokers who realize
 that their favorite 'ften cent straight is the result of centuries of study and practical experiment in the culture of tobacco supplemented by care in se- lection for manufacture equaled only
 by that of the expert who chooses the parts of a fine watch. It is thus easi- ly perceived that only a careful man.
 ufacturer. long experienced i'll all lines of tobacco handling can give his consumers a just return for their money. Tn J. Moss, the originator of the famous Universe 10 cent cigar" of long actual experience in the growth and curing of tobacco both in this country and in Cuba. The result of all this training is the seUniverse'' 10 cent cigar, the continuation of to- bacco lore. MT Moss has his factory at 157 Bank street, and despite his large force, is unable to turn out a supply equal to the demand. Made by hand of the best quality leaf to< bacco in the world'' is the we'll knowil guarantee on all the boxes containing the "Universe,' and here it may be stated that few men in the country are better qualified to stand by such an assertion. But the proof of the cigar is the smoking, and judging from the ever-increasing demand the Universe" is up to all that its manu- facturer claims. Only wholesalers are dealt with. and if by any chance this is the first time any middleman had his attention called to the merits of the Universe" let him pause and consider. Long experience, positive knowledge, conscientious care, super for workmanship are a few of the personal qualities that enable Mir Moss to put out the best 10 cent cigar in the city. MT Moss learned his trade in Matanzas, Cuba, where he spent many years of his early life. added to this is his personal experis ence with all the largest tobacco plan- tations in Connecticut. And such is his knowledge of the mysteries of the fra grant weed" that often has he been summoned to pass judgment on knotty questions of tobacco curing that have baff1ed experts all over the state. Mir Moss's twenty-five years residence here in Waterbury excuses him from any further introduction.

plant. The day of supremacy of the automatic machine has dawned al- ready, and man can make machine which will not only surpass his own handiWork but do that with absoluta accuracy every hour of the day wi --s only a general supervision. The intel- igence of the automatic machine is most impressive, almost bewildering. The trade of this company reaches the uttermost parts of the earth, most of the product being sold through jobbing and export houses in New York. This plant eNcels in the manufacture of specialties made from brass or steel wire and large accounts are carried in this line. The entire establishment is light and airy, perfectly ventilated and thoroughly sanitary. Cleanliness Is apparent everywhere. The manage ment spares neither pains nor expense to provide every heaithfuI condition possible for their employees. A general supervision over the health of all iM maintained. Even an emergency hos pital, with skilled attendant, has been installed to care for any accident case but has seldom been in actual service. The grade of employees here Is very high; hundreds of Intelligent men and WO1ASu operate the uldCnlIl6S and dp@ pear to be very happy in their vocation. There is almost a total absence of tho boy or girl labor so often found in large factories. The president and treasurer of this large concern if J. Ho- bart Bronson of Waterbury, who has been identified with it for the past twenty five years formerly as secre- tary and manager, and succeeding tho late Edward G. Lewis in the presiden- cy.

Facts Concerning New England
 Watches

Facts Concerning New England Watches.
 We make our own cases of all metals-nickel, gun metal, copper, sil- yer, gold filled and solid gold We guarantee every part of our watches. We sell to every nation on the earth. We have one price or its equivalent the world over. The smallest move ment we have made is the size of 8 five cent nickel piece. The largest is the regular IS size for men. We make all sizes between-for men women, boys and girls. Enamel cased watch es for ladies, with the choicest of de signs, and most exquisite color1ngs. Gentlemen's watches. thin models, that will not show in the pocket. Ladies' watches for the belt, shoulder or pOCS ct. Hunting or open face castings. Heavy nickel silver castings to with stand rough usage. They are jointed, also snap joints and screw joints, dust and water proof. We make excellent watches for all out door purposes, hunting or rough work affeld, as well as fine pocket pieces for everyday af- fairs. And the vital point of this ex- planation is that this aggregation of styles and sizes can be purchased for less money, with an assured guarantee from us, that in every detail our goods are covered by this guarantee, and will show more stylish form and choice designing than any other watch you can purchase for a like amount. The largest product of any watch com pany in the world. The only company that make and sell only complete watches. Our watches are thin mo- dels. They are uniformly correct. Require less regulating and will run longer without cleaning. Will with stand more rough treatment-the req son being the escapement is made ac- clrately by tools, and has less parts in contact. simpler in detail, and less friction than any other known escape ment The absence of friction requires less power to produce motion. The main springs, therefore, are lighter, and there is less wear on all parts in contact. This same principle is car ried out from the largest to the small est watch made by us. Four jewels in our movement are the equivalent of seven jewels in lever movements. All our watches wind and set from the crown.
