A Stopped
Watch
Doesn’t cause as much wor
ry as one that runs either
too fast or too slow, in an
erratic fashion. The first
you never depend upon—the
other kind is a source of con
stant annoyance. Nowadays
most people can and do own
a watch, but no person can
afford to own an uncertain
watch; and with my repair
department at your service,
there is no excuse for carry
ing anything but a properly
regulated and accurate
.watch. I am always ready
to remedy your watch troub
les. Consult me when your
timepiece goes wrong.
