IIow Watches are Made.
It will he apparent to any one, who
will examine a Solid Gold Watch, that
aside from tlio ticoessnry thickness for
engraving and polishing a large propor
tion of the 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
as utility aud bounty arc concerned. In
James Boss’ Patent Gold Watch
Cases, this waste of pveeious metal is
overcome, and the same Bolidily 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 of nicklc
imposition metal) especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates of solid
gold soldered on each sido. Tlio thr
are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the
cases, hacks, centres, bezels, Ac., nr
:ut and shujied by suitable dies ami for
mers. The gold in these cases is su
llcicntly thick to admit of all kinds of
elmsing, engraving and enameling; the
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold.
This is the only case made with two
[dates ol Solid (1old aud warranted by
special cert idea to.

Nor do we intend to keep our customers in the dark, but stand
in the broad open daylight where the glare of the noonday sun
can not reveal any greater bargains than can be had of us. How
can the unpcnatrable darkness which is presumed to have sur
rounded Moses reveal what the sun can not? We manufacture
and sell at wholesale and retail Tinware of all descriptions at the
lowest prices 1 Crockery, Glassware, Stoves, Hardware,
Woodenware Lamps, Chirnnics, Burners, Wicks, etc., repairing
Stoves and Tinware promptly attended to.
Our goods are kept clean and well displayed, Stoves are set
up where they can be seen as they will appear when set up at
home, they are not stacked away among bacon and salt, rusty
and greasy, so that you have to buy without seeing what you get,
this is emphatically buying in the dark, when you buy of us you
buy in the light The members of the !ir«, J. C. Pace, Jr., and
