sentative of THE WEEKLY ~
the Office of the Union Watch Co., and re,
sented by the salesman to be the watch sent
in response to the advertisement was
ment No. l72,65a and ease No. S4S695. Th1
analysis OF the movement showed the follJN-
ing:
REPORT ON WATCH
Watch No. 1864, marked "Unon Watch
Co., is composed of two brass plates nickel
plated. The third, fourth and escape wheel
are jeweled on top plate only. The jewels are
of poor quality. The balance has two whole
jewels and one cap Jewel. The lower cap jew.
Ell is steel The rolled jewel Is brass The pal.
lets are of steel and not jeweled. The balance
is non magnetic, and struck up in n dye The
pinons are all unfinished, the proportions of
pinons and wheels are pretty nearly right.
The balance is out of proportion. The hair
spring is non magnetic and of white compo-
siton.
The case, which is stamped "Union Watch
Co., warranted 90 years, - was submitted TO
well-known assayer of New York, who re
ported that the gold plating on the ease was
NO thin that all gold Immediately disappeared
upon being dipped in the cyanide bath.
Two OF the cases III WHICH tue HioNeHenls VI
the Union Watch Co. were enclosed have been
analysed by the United States Assay Office,
one at the office in New York and the other in
Philadelphia. The ease analysed in the New
York Assay Office was hunting case of which
the front cover had previously been taken off
and dipped in cyanide, with the result that the
gold had practically disappeared. The re-
maindcr of the ease was assayed by II. G.
a. -
ported that the outside back cap was very
thin rolled plate the gold being $1,000 of the
total aud the inside cap was dipped or
electroplate, the gold being 2-l0 Of l-lOOO of
the total.
The other case which was assayed at the
Mint Assay Office in Philadelphia contained
seven grains of gold, or about 30 cents worth.
The Union Watch Co. occupies a room at
40 Maiden Lane, on the 18th floor, where it
employs n number of people and is evidently
doing large mail-order business. The bus
mess was incorporated June 80, 1908, under
the laws of the State of New York, with a
capital of $4,000, of which one-half has been
paid in according to the statement given out
by A. fairfield, the secretary and treasurer.
Dominick Melillo is president, Elio Gaass,
vice-p president, and Alexander fairfield, secre-
tary and treasurer. Dominiek Meliilo former
" conducted jewelry business at 72 Wash
ington ST., Boston, while his brother John was
previously employed by his father, Emanuel
Melillo, in similar line in Boston. In 1894
they formed partnership under the style of
the Union Watch Co. In June, 1908, the in
corporation was put through when John NELL

tary, was for eight years connected with the
Amsterdam Silk Mills, Amsterdam, n. Y.

The advantages OF
buying at home

You have large stock to
select from.
You are not fooled by any
description or pictures.
You know exactly what
you are purchasing.
You pay us no more for the
same article and save express
charges.
If any article does not prove
satisfactory you can step in
the store and get your money
back.
This is why you should
buy at home when it
costs you no more.
Every dollar you send away
from Globe is never seen again.
If every one patrOnized
home industry it would mean
larger stocks and better stores
for every merchant (the peo-
pie who pay the taxes. This
would mean greater improve
mentS to the city, all labor
employed, more schools and
better times for all.
The right price.
Quality makes the price; if
you wish the best it is bound
to cost more than an inferior
article.
Did you ever realize how
much cheaper it is, in the long
run, to pay a little more for an
article and get the best than to
pay a little less and get some
thing that lasts about one
quarter as long.
Don't think you are
going to save money by
sending away for your
jewelry because we will
duplicate the same arti-
Gle for the same amount
of money and save you
a world of trouble and
dissatisfaction.
REMEMBER, you pay us
no more for our high grade
goods than is ordinarily charg-
ed for a cheaper grade.

Mr.. X. G. Atkinson. of Pine
Bluff, man who has been in
touch with Mr. Parker, the pro-
moter and builder of the Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Cult Rail
road, in a card published in the
Pine Bluff Commercial, of recent
date, says that one more chance
will be given Pine Bluff to get
this railroad. This chance Pine
Bluff will most likely gladly well
come and accept. for it is now
apparent to the business men Of
that city that the building of
this road is an assured fact, and
for 1t to miss that town would
be a terrible blow to it's business
interests. THE completion of
this road to Hamburg from
Monroe has already dug into
the trade of Pine Bluff. and the
further the road comes into Pine
Bluffs old territory the worse it
will hurt Pine Bluff, unless the
road reaches that town. This
road is not going to stop where
it is, and if Pine Bluff gets busy
it will get the road.
