FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAN
Frauds in Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cinc!n'
natl Commercial, a ffty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city, secreted
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 the
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 this lead Is
secreted 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 pub,
lie. It is not pleasant for anyone to find
that he has lugged a lump Of lead IN his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case ~. S. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out OF
gold and silver except coin, and the talllr,
public believe that the government had
something to do with the stamping OF
guaranteeing the fneness Of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fallir is to
advertise watch described as a solid
gold filled watch with a twenty or twenty
tive-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent c. 0. d., and if the pur-
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the 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.
