Every Reader 
In order to advertise HOUSE AND HOME, and secure sub* 
Bcribera promptly, we have decid d to make the following most 
princely and magnificent offer to each and every reader of this 
paper: It is the common practice of the gold and silver refiners 
oi England and Switzerland to purchase trom the pawnbrokers of 
their respective countries all the gold and oilv.r watches which 
have been unredeemed, simply ior the sake of the goid and silver 
cases. The works are then sold to a celebrated watch firm who 
have made a special t.y of this business. This firm places the works 
in the hands of skillful workmen, who set to work and pat them in 
as good condition as possible. These works embrace every variety 
of movement, some ofthem being very fine andperiect timekeepers 
all handsomely cased. We have just purchased the entire stock 
(25,POO) of a bankrupt concern cf the above described watches at 
less than the first cost o 1 the raw mater iul. 
On receipt of $1.50, the sub cription price of HOUSE AND 
HOME, and $1.00 extra to pay for packing, postage, and register¬ 
ing, we will send HOUSE Ah D HOME for one year(52 numbers) 
and one of these watches, postpaid, to any address in the United 
States. Watches mailed tho day the order is received. The watches 
were purchased specially to go with HOUSE AbD HOME, and 
will be furn’shed only to the subscribers to that publication. In 
order to introduce it at once we make this unusual offer, which 
could not be made were it not for the fact that we bought the 
watches atone quarter cost of manufacture. 
On receipt of 50 cents extra we will send our new and elegant 
watch-chain with a whistle charm and dog call attach¬ 
ment— just the thing for hunters and sporting men. 
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. 
Be member, any one sending us money for HOUSE AND HOME 
on the above offer, who can honestly say that they are not satisfied 
with their bargain, can have their muney cheerfully refunded.
