THIEVES STEAL
GUARANTEED
WATCHES
Guarantee Still Holds, Kay
Store informs Visitors
of the Night.

Using a heavy crowbar, around
the end OF which cloth had been
wrapped to deaden the sound, a
thief or thieves early today
smashed the display window of
the Kay Jewelry Store, 4O7
Seventh street northwest, and
stole several hundred watches. ac-
cording to a report made to
police of the Sixth precinct Some
of the watches had seen better
days. but most of them were new.
The management Of the Kay
Jewelry Store seems to have
taken the theft good naturedly
and showed most progressive
spirit by exploiting the theft. On
the store window appeared this
sign in big black letters: Notice
to the thief or thieves. Every
Illinois Sterling Watch is abso-
lutely guaranteed. Should any Of
those you stole prove unsatisfac-
tory, we will replace it with a
new movement. Signed Kay jew
elry Company" The manager of
the store said this was the usual
guarantee that went with this
make of watch.
The lot carried off by the thief
or thieves included two large
cans filled with watches traded
In by purchasers Of new Illinois
Sterling watches at the Kay Jew
elry Store. and a score or more
of brand new watches placed in
the window for display purposes.
Because of the popularity of the
company's innovation of accept
ing old watches as part payment
on new watches there were seven
cans filled with watches in the
window, but the weight of the
cans evidently was such as TO
preclude the thief or thieves from
carrying off more than two of
the receptacles. The theft oc-
casioned considerable commotion
in Seventh street about 4 o'clock
this morning, as the burglar
alarm went off. the manager was
summoned to the store and police
from the Sixth precinct rushed
to the scene, but the thieves
made their escape in an auto
mobile.
