1 COrXTY WILL PAY CLAIM i'ili:d ijy Tin: stati: RACTICALLY no article of jewelry can exercise a Greater in fluence upon character than does &ood watch. We see evidence of in every walk of life The lad just bordering onto manhood regards a watch as indicative of his bigness, and the pride he shows in its tirnnkeepin qualities may be the basis for a useful, am bitious future. The man who "stakes his all" upon the accuracy of his watch is another phase of the pride of possession which &ood time-pieces instill. The woman, whose dainty time-piece loses none of -its effectiveness by its smallness, also can have satisfaction, if the watch is a ood one. The price of a watch is no guarantee of its value. The name back of it establishes its worth. Every watch purchased here is a ood watch an excel lent &if t for the boy or &irl. The fact that it is here proves that the movement is worth standing back of. Dixon The Jeweler UNION PACIFIC WATCH INSPECTOR ' Tho county.
