A COMPARISON
Compare your watch to n steam on
gino. Tho strain and friction on tho
delicate wheels and pieces of tho watch
is. just as great by comparison as on
the cogs and heavy shafts of tho en
gine. The engine receives constant atten
tion, daily oiling and adjusting. It is
only natural that a watch should re
ceivo this attention at lonst once every
few years. We have heard peoplo say
that their watch is an exceptionally
good ono; has not been touched by a
watchmaker for years. Maybe when
they aro forced to consult a watch
maker tho watch will bo past repair
ing. To get good service out of a watch It
should be cleaned and oiled at least
overy twelvo or fifteen months. Lot
us cxamino your watch and wo will
tell you the real condition.
