VALUES THAT TELL. Thero is no valuo that tells as much as watch values. You can buy a watch at most any old prico you want to pay. A cheap watch may be all right for a boy or a youngster, but when it comes to buying a watch lor a "grown up" see that value is there. A watch may havo a solid gold case set with diamonds and yet not bo a good watch. Its the works that count. A well made watch will keep just as good time in a filled case as in any other kind. Wo show a full line of watches in all styles or sizes and at all prices. Included in our assort mcnt you will find Ball Watches, Elgin Watches, Waltham Watches, Hamilton Watches, Etc. Each one will bo found to be "ut moBt" in watch valuo. DIXON, U. P. Watch Inspector I DR. H. C. BROCK, Ij jj DENTIST. (5 Ovor First National.
