RECREA TION.

A Christmas Present for Boys. 



THE INGERSOLL 



Dollar Watch 



is known the world over. We have demonstrated that 

 it is possible to make a good watch for a DOLLAR. It is 

 made to stand rough usage, and for boys it is just the 

 thing ; for men not wishing to carry a high-priced watch 

 at work it will fill every purpose of an expensive watch. 

 It keeDS as good time as a hundred-dollar watch and 

 years of hard knocks will not affect its accuracy. 



Under the GUARANTEE printed below we have sold 

 more than 2,000,000 WATCHES in two years. If the 

 watch were not a good one, our repair shop would be 

 larger than our factory. 



Our GUARANTEE is not a meaningless say so, but an 

 absolute and unequivocal agreement
