FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial, tifty-onc pound stone was
recently found in that city seereted in a
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump of
lead of nearly one-half the weight of tho
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight
and no one can see where Ibis lead is Sc
creted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
logged lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
"U. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
believe that the government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the tineneSs of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise q watch described as solid gold
filed watch with twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gem
orally sent G. o. D.. and if the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that tho
Company which guaranteed the watch TO
wear is not in existence.
The Dueber Hampden Watch Company
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are in
this questionable business.
