I mitrht use anrnet
jewels in their
watches instead ol
ruby and sapphire
jewels as many
other watch com
panies do and thus greatly re
duce the cost of production..
You would not notico the difference
in buying.
But, if gnrnat jewele were uied, the
ivnicK would not have any such
lasting qualities
and the South Dend
pany believes
Watch Corn-
it is better to have
smaller profits and satisfied custom
ers than large profits and dissatisfied
customers.
That's tho way we feel about It, too,
which accounts for our giving South
Bend watches tho preference.

The local manager of The Lyceum
informs us that ho selected "Tho Four
Artists" as ono of this year'B coursff at

Miss Emily Waterman, tha reader and
entertainer with the company She is
recommended as follows: The happy,
laughing selection of "The Party at tho
Telephone" and tho snd and touching
rcoding entitled "The Soul of tho
Violin" aro rendered with equal ease
nnd merit by Emily Waterman, reader.
Her work Is not only pleasing to the
average auditor seeking for amuse
mcnt only, but, as some pno haa truly
said, appeals to tho discriminating taste
of ladies and gentlemen who aro de-
votees of tho arts and who regard tho
average reciter in tho light of Borao-
thing to bo avoided. Miss Waterman
is already woll known to Lyceum
nudienccs in many parts of the country, !
and hundreds of press comments aro
valuable In henrtiest commendation
of her work. Tho Arlington, Texas, '
Journal says: "No hotter impersonator
than Miss Watormnnhns ever appeared
before our people, especially in comic
recitations." Tho Bloomfiled, Ind.,
News says: "Miss Waterman's read
ings were so true to life and naturo
that she quickly won tho audience.
"Tho Minneapolis Tribune comments:
Miss Emily Waterman, render and
impersonnter, displayed her talents in
lines that called for exceptional ver
satility.'
