Popularity Of the Wrist

Consider for moment the wrist
watch. 1t is simple. reliable little
timepiece. Before the war. no male
wanted to wear one of them. The
kaisers ambition changed it from
feminine to masculine gender. The
doughboys rapidly adopted 1t, and for
every friend of soldier, sailor or mar
inc, it was the logical gift.

ity is established. 1.-The Americans
have learned to wear the wrist watch
and like It," said a Richmond jeweler
today. 1.-The wrist watch Is not fad,
but the eventual timepiece for both
men and women. Men returning from
the army will not discard them, and
civilians have accepted their useful
ness. In cold weather men find 1t a
convenience to look at their wrists
for the time instead of unbundling an
overcoat and a coat"
