More Americans Tell Timé By BULOVA Than By Any Other Fine Watch

Eolay—ad more: wd ore as richer or done Bulova is on the mareh with our fightipg men—Timing their drives—Helping deliver the knockout blows.

In each of Bullowa's large American factories, highprecigion war devices . . . made with unerring Bulova skill . . . are helping our men blast the enemy out of the skies . . . out of the seas , .. and off the ground.

Without these microscopically-exact war instruments, planes could not fly, nor ships navigate. A Tanks, tor: pedoes, aerial bombs and field guns would lose their ° ' devastating aceuracy.

.Due to the vast amount of precision war instruments which Bulova is producing for our armed forces . . . we do not have as large a selection of Bulova watches as in previous years, However, we still have available a limited quantity of Bulova watches. So, why not wear a watch you know you can trust... A Bulova ! We suggest you select your Bulova today, .
