in good -repair
Doing so will moke the watch last
longer and save you money on repair
chargos. It ought to be cleaned and
oiled every 12 to 15 montli3 to pre
vent costly wear on delicate parts.
Clinton will examine your watch
without charge. If it needs any
attention you can get the work done
right. Our watchmaker is expert
and careful, and charges are decidedly
economical .
