N "We Always Have Exactly What We Advertise." Ifliiary Wateks IT'S A SHAME to put on the wrists of our American Soldier and Sailor boys the cheap, trashy foreign made watches that some people are trying to pass along to them. WHEN OUR SOLDIER BOYS get over in France, what are they going to do with their unreliable watch? It won't keep time and It won't run. Rather a ticklish position in the trenches and a dead watch on his wrist OUR IDEA IS: The best watch made is none too good for your Soldier Boy. OUR ADVISE IS: Euy him a good watch. An Elgin watch or a Waltham watch. Then he will have a timekeeper, a serviceable watch that will answer all his requirements. Trench work demands a good watch, why then not buy him a reliable American-made watch. Our prices for an Elgin or Waltham watch start at $15.00; others at higher prices.
