They are sent free on request by the Keystone Watch Case Company, of Fhilapelphia, Fa. Your jeweler here may have one for you; if not, send to Fhiladel phia. The Keystone Watch Case Company is the largest concern of its kind in the world. Its capacity is 2500 cases per day. It man ufactures every description of case, but its great speciality is that mest popular of al watch cases, the Jas. Boss gold filled.

Boss and other Keystone cases are the only cases that have the non-pull-out bow or ring, which saves the watch from theft and accident. The Keystone Company does not retiil, but our local dealers handle h i cases and swear by the theft-proof qual ities of the ring.
