Clothes May Make the Man.
But, Its the Works
That Make the Watch

M Favre-Perret, in an article written for the
Journal de Geneve. stated that the American
watch factories amazed him for the 'precis-
ion and rapidity of the machine tools there.
which supplanted the slow and variable hands
of the artisan He eulogized the command
ing superiority and uniformity Of the move
rnents produced and the marvellous reductions
in cost-coincident with improvement in quail
ity over the Swiss watch. These are his own
words:
In 1880. at the great International Exposi-
ton held in Sydney. Australia. American
Watches again defeated the worlds best
watches. winning every award and many other
distinctions. In fact Waltham Watch Of
the sixth grade, Watch No. 6. case number
122l336, gave a better performance than
many Of the costly and otherwise expensive
watches in competition, and was recommended
in the official report
In this world competition Charles V. Woerd,
mechanical superintendent at Walthan. was
given first-class award for his new mode
of compromising balances
This is the significant fact. Americas claim
to world leadership in matchmaking is related
to Americas claim that in engineering and
mechanical skill she leads the world.
The American laboratories and experimental
shops have given many inventions and i'm
provements to the works of the watch The
American Watches embody many distinc-
tive superiorites in their works that it would
need book to quote them in full. One will
suffice: The balance wheel Of watch auto

over So per cent Of all railroad men
is surely good enough for anyone
who demands the utmost in accuracy
and service. It is obvious that rail.
road men must have watches of guar

ratically allows for variation in temperature to
which your watch may be subjected. Owing to
expansion and contraction of metal which,
under heat or cold. would increase or decrease
the diameter if the balance wheel, thereby af-
fecting the number of time-keeping vibrations
per second. the American balance wheel. for
instance. is made of specially treated steel and
brass. fused together and rolled under high
pressure to produce the necessary temper after
fusing.
Therefore, the balance wheel in American
made watches readily responds to varying
temperatures. while the balance in the Swiss
watch is apt to be too soft and lacking in tenn
per to keep perfect time or to be easily re-
paired.
This is but one of many reasons why the
horologists of the great nations came to
American for time. They appreciated these
scientific superiorities in the works of the
American Watch.
This store has for years recommended
American made watches and the statements
above only prove that we were right. Lead
ing American Jewellers everywhere are taking
the attitude that while they can perhaps make
a little more profit on Swiss watches, that it
is a patriotic duty to sell American made
watches to Americans, even though they make
less on them. We all know about the cheap
ness Of foreign labor and we prefer to back
up our Americans in American watch facto-
ries and particularly so because they are now
producing the worlds best watches

1t has been said. "A silk hat can cover null
titude of sins. Let US add to that and say.
"A fancy case and foreign sounding Swiss
name upon the dial can cover very poor
watch.
American mechanical and engineering world
leadership has been won by making compari-
sons-not comparisons of appearances, but
comparisons of facts and performances-put-
ting two and two together and multiplying the
result until standard of quality and
new high mark in invention has been attained.
That is just what has been taking place in
Matchmaking. Time was when we had only

can brain work and genius work, the Arneri-

Let US quote from leading Swiss horologist.
M. Favre-Perret, who was one of the watch
judges at the great Centennial Exposition held
in Philadelphia in 1876. He stated that the
10000 workmen in Switzerland. working by
hand. produced each. but 40 watches a year;
while an American workman by the use of
highly developed and marvellous machinery.
produced $50 watches year.
His most significant statement made at sthat
time was that the Swiss watch was inferior in
quality to the American watch-n every par
tcular-facts which they proved at the Expo
stion when it defeated all Swiss competitors
in every test. and M. Favre-Perret was one
of the judges.

Put Up Every Pound of
Fruit You Can Get
This Summer

Many a woman hesitates to try putting
up fruit at home.
She fears she will only waste expensive
materials.
1t really is very simple. Just make your
preserving syrup with "a Karo Cred Label)
and "a sugar instead of sugar alone.
You can then be as sure of your results
as the woman who always has 1luck', with
her preserving.
Nice fine, clear Karo Syrup has a natural
affinity for the fruit juices. It blends the
sugar with the juice-brings out the rich
!. fruity'' flavor, and insures firm jams and
jellies that never candy in the glass.
A well filled fruit pantry will give you
much pleasure this winter, when fresh fruits
are scarce and high, if you just use Karo
Syrup with your sugar.
For Cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo
(Red Label is used in millions of homes. In all
cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead OF
sugar. 1t is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings
out the natural favor of the food.
