How Watches are Made.
It will he apparent lo any one, who
will examine a Solid Gold Watch, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing a large propor
tion of tlie precious metal used, is nee
ded 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
ns utility and beauty arc concerned. In
James Boss’ Patent Gold Watch
Cases, this waste of precious metal is
overcome, and tlie 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, as follows: A plate ot iiickle
((imposition metal, espenially adapted
lo the purpose, has two plates of solid
gold soldered on each side. The three

gins at the low
