WATCHES.
t Our stock of watches
I speaks eloquently of good
things, and there are t
many people whose hap-
py experiences confirm I
t the reliability and worth
of thr.ni
5 Our success as watch d
sellers has not been
merely fortuitous, but is 'i
the result of the unwav-
ering integrity and knowl- t
4 edge gained by long t
years of study. Every t
watch we sell is a iruar-
anteed time keeper.
Thus you have more
reason to consider this
store as an obiect wor-
$ thy your seeking.
