How Watch Cases are Made.
It is a fact not generally known that the
James Boti Gold Watek Case really con
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the maniuacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4f to 10 karats,
and a 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for 12
or 14 karate. It is sot economy to buy &
watch case so poor in quality that.it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
It IS economy to buy a James Bos? Gold
Watch Case, in which none of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an experi
ment it has been made nearly thirty yaars.
