This, the triumph of Waltham genius
"a time-fuse that splits second into
hundred parts-that far exceeds in
instantaneous accuracy all other time
fuses hitherto invented-that sends
each shell to its destination governed
by Waltham's inventive genius hidden
in the apex of the shell.
Imagine this device, light enough
and of such delicate accuracy to explode
the charge at hundredth of second,
fired in shell with a velocity of 200
feet per second, and leaving the guns
rifled barrel at $4,000 revolutions per
minute.
Talk of position" time-keeping-

NEVER in the worlds history has
~ there been such miraculous time
keeping, such performance, such
absolute reliability under such abnormal
conditions. As Americans, we have a
right to be proud of Waltham genius.
But if it had not been for nearly
three-quarters of century filled with
work behind the Waltham time-fuse, it
would not have been years in front of
all others. Pre-eminence is its own
reward.
Years of concentrated development
on an infinitesimal unit-ofttimes out
of sight in the works of the watch
have added renown to the name of
Waltbam.
The Waltham Watch, upon whose
universal time-keeping the sun never
sets, is but an older brother of this
marvellous time-keeper in the shell.

| Here is man whom you all know
very we'll; a red-blooded, progressive
citizen who has been actively identi-
fed with the social and commercial
life of Wauwatosa for many years.
For over quarter of century he
has been chief source of our local
milk supply and to say that he has
served us. faithfully and satisfyingly is
but to echo the sentiments of every
housewife who has dealt with him dur
ing that period.
Much to the surprise of many of our
citizens, who had long since regarded
him as a permanent fixture. Mr.. Van
Uxem recently disposed of his bust
ness to the Gridley Dairy Company
His explanation, however, but EN-
phasizes the breadth and dependability
of the man, whose sense of proportion
and analysis of conditions enabled
him to see and to do that which would
operate to the best advantage of those
who had dealt with him in the past
But, let him tell it in his own way:
Il made this DEAL" he told the
writer, because realized that as an
| individual unit in the milk business
as it is today, had reached the limit
of usefulness, for, to be of real service
TO his customers, a milkman must be
as up-to-date in all departments as his
most modernly equipped competitor.
I'VE We're getting the bulk of the
business here, it is true. but even
Al
were sales. improvements and addi-
tions, therefore, were necessarily linn
tied, or equipment, upkeep, profits and
even living expenses would all have
been swallowed up.
Il also knew of the fine work that
Gridley's were doing, that they were
regarded by the best authorities as the
truest type of high-class, economic
dairymen: and so, when talking con-
ditions over, they offered to purchase
the business, and feeling that with this
wonderful organization in control, my
good friends and customers would be
materially advantaged, | sold out"
It is pleasant to note that, recognize
ing his consistently good and reliable
work in the past, the Gridley Com
pany have placed Mr. Van Uxem in
charge of their West Side (Wauwato-
sa) Branch, where with all necessary
equipment and the effective methods
of Americas most model dairy at his
command, he will continue to serve
Wauwatosa housewives with the same
fidelity that has won for him their UNI
stinted praise in the past.
