A Beauty, and Keeps Correct Time.
Watch and chain came o. K. Am
well pleased thus far. It is a little
beauty. keeps correct time. noticed
you sent watch to q man in q south
ern town some time ago and he wrote
you it ran both fast and slow, and
upon investigation, he told you he set
1t by the gin whistle. and you said in
setting a watch by a whistle one
should know what is behind the whis-
tie. Well, set my watch by the mill
whistle and have not yet tried to ind
out what kind OF time the man has
that operates the whistle for a large
milling business. SO my watch has
been running with this mans time
ten days and has not varied one min
ute, and think that does fairly we'll.
When writing again will send you
some names that you might interest in
the watch business.
Wishing you success and thanking
you for your promptness in filling my
order, remain as ever,
