respects it was erroneous said that it referred
to the case cheap electro. plated case.
whereas it was rolled plate Mr. fairfield
said that the movement was an imported Swiss
movement that had been on the market for
years and that the eases nov being made
by two large companies of this country, and
were not electroplated but rolled plate.
The manager of the company which, it was
said, made the case purchased by THE CIR

Mr.. fairfield admitted that the watch was
not a 7-iewelea movement as advertised, and
that it was oKy seven ieweled movement.
but said that the knowledge had only just
come to the concern that they had based their
advertising the representations made to
them by the manufacturers, which proved to
be Incorrect. As far as this was concerned,
he said. it would be changed N future adver
tisements and the watch would hereafter be
described as "jeweled.'' He said that the
company had nothing to conceal, either in re
gard TO it's past or present, its business meth
DDS or the character of the articles which il
sold; that he welcomed the fullest publicity
that might be given, provided that only the
facts were stated He felt that the members
of the company were entitled to refer to them
selves as manufacturers because they assemble
the movement and ease, and that they stood
behind the guarantee of the case and move
ment it made no difference what the quality
was, as long as they were able to make this
guarantee good.
When asked il it were true that the pur-
chaser who sent % cents in response to the
advertisement must jay the difference between
that and the 81 before he got the watch from
the express company, he said that il was, but
as the company offered to take back the watch
within 90 days and return the s. paid on de-
livery, the advertisement statement about
"25 cents for 80 days" trial was correct.
The fact was called to his attention that the
damascening on the watch purchased by THE
WEEKLY initiated the ornamen.
tation of well.known movement made es-
pecially for railroad men, but he said he
knew nothing about this, and that the damas-
cening differed on the various watches that
the company put out. AS far as this being
"railroad movement he saw no harm in the
use of the term because he had been told that
New York Central inspector had passed one
of the watches.
BELoIT, Wis, Sept. 23.-The advertise
ment of the Union Watch Co.. offering a
1895 railroad watch for ST. which appeared
in the Beloit Daily News, has resulted in an
answer to the advertisement on the part of
Alva Snider. an enterprising local ieweler,
and his adj in turn has brought forth libel
suit against Mr.. Snider, instituted by the
editor of the Daily News.
After the advertisement had first appeared
Mr. Snider in rival paper inserted large
advertisement, pointing out, he termed
them, the "Ees' in this Union Watch Co. g
advertisement. stating that there were no
Union Watch Co. factories that it was no
,rainmen's watch and attacking the editor
of the paper for publishing such an advertise
ment, claiming that he was a party to the
swindle. 1t was this that brought forth the
libel suit, but neither Mr.. Snider or his friends
are worried as to the outcome.
