Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 301, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 December 1917 — Laundered Soldier’s Watch. [ARTICLE]

Laundered Soldier’s Watch.

Being laundered didn’t hurt a watch at San Antonio, Tex. The watch was thoughtlessly left by the owner in the pocket of his army shirt. In the pocket it was carried to the laundry and went through the big washing machine. One of the laundry employees felt it in the pocket just in time to save it from going through the wringer. The watch was still marking time.
