How Watches are Made.
It will lie apparent to any owe, who]
will examine a Solid Gold Watch, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing a large propor
tion of the precious metal used, is nee-
Icd only to stiffen and hold the engrav
ed portions in place, and supply the
necessary solidity and strength. The
surplus gold is actually needless so far
utility and beauty arc concerned. In
Jam ns Biss’ 1’atknt Goi.d Watch
Casks, this waste of precious metal is
overcome, and the same solidity and
strength produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple na
ture, ns follows: A plate of nickle
composition metal, cspeuially adapted
0 the purpose, has two plates of solid
?old soldered on each side. The three
are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are
cut and shaped by suitable dies aad for
mers. The gold in these cases is suf
ficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enameling - t the
engraved cases have liccn carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold.
This is the only case made with two
plates of Solid Gold and wurimnted by
special certificate

Great Success.
No Machine has over before mot
with such universal favor. No other
Machine can do better work nor is
more durable, no matter wlmt its
•ost may be. It is simple and dura
ble, is within the means of every
family. It is warranted, if properly
used, to wash clean anything that can
be washed by hand. It will wash
tho fiuest laco or largest quilt. It
can be put in and taken out of an
ordinary tub iu an instant. It will
save one-lmlf the time required to do
the ordinary family washing by hand,
besides saving the clothes and much
