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.
