Having recently purchased the entire stock of watches from a 

 bankrupt firm, consisting of solid gold, silver and gold-filled cases, 

 we shall offer a portion of the entire lot at prices never before 

 heard of in the Watch trade. Among the stock are 8,780 AMER- 

 ICAN STYLE WATCES, in SOLID GOLD-FILLED CASES, which 

 we shall sell singly or by the dozen to private parties or the trade, 

 at the unheard-of LOW PRICE of ?3.98 EACH. Each and every 

 watch is guaranteed a perfect timekeeper, and each watch 

 is accompanied with our guarantee for 20 years. Think of 

 it! A genuine American Style Movement watch, in solid 

 gold-filled case, and guaranteed 20 YEARS for $3.98. Those 

 wanting a first-class, reliable time-keeper at about one- 

 third retail price, should order at once. Watch spec- 

 ulators can make money by buying by the dozen to sell. 

 CUT THIS OUT and send to us and we will send a watoh to 

 you C. 0. D., subject to examination, by express, upon ap- 

 proval. If found perfectly satisfactory, and exactly as rep- 

 resented, pay $3.98 and express charges, and it is yours, 

 otherwise you do not pay one cent. Can we make a fairer 

 offer ? Be sure to mention whether you want ladies's or 

 gents' size. Price per dozen, 42.00. If full amount, $3.98 

 is sent with the order, we will include one of our special

 The stoker may not go; 



The Jack-tar has to keep above, 

 The " coal tar " down below. 



Boys used to study by the light of a pine
