THERE IS A REASON

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if it doesn't average good is it returned and a new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get a complaint from a purchaser of one of these watches. Our alarm clocks are rigidly in spected also. OSTROM 6 SIMPSON, Jewellers and Opticians
