Piece is indispensible to
every man; to the youth
it is an educator. I t pro
motes punctuality, relia
bility and industry. I t
is an invaluable compan
ion, without it "you are
lost to the time." The
selection of a time-piece
is of much importance, as
many dealers buy watches
like thev would ordinary i a-
goods—at sight. W e are
exceptions, we don't. Our
Watches are all subject
ed to' a critical test and
required to PHOVE tbem-
selves -accurate before
being offered to our
trade. W e run no risk,
consequently our custom
ers fare likewise. There
fore, we guarantee perfect
time and perfect satisfac
tion or money back if you
want it. We carry in stock all reliable makes
and at prices that make
you buy. " A stitch in
time may save you nine"
(dollars). Bee the point?
Better yet—see the goods.
