' DO YOU ABUSE
YOUR WATCH?
You guard it carefully against jars, blows .
and Tails. But do you protect it against1
constant wear?
A watch can ruin itself by running too long
without being cleaned and oiled.
If you can't remember how long it has been
since your watch was cleaned if you know
it has been a year or longer step into
Clinton's today and have it examined. Don't t
wait for signs of distress that means
you have waited too long. -There
is no place in North Platte where you can .
secure such skillful and careful watch, clock
and jewelry repairing as Clinton does.
