In order to advertise IIOUSE AND HOME* and secure 
subscribers promptly, we have decided 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 
of England and hwitserland to purchase ( om the pawnbrokers of 
their respective countries all the gold and silver watches which, 
have been unredeemed, simply for the sake of the gold and silver 
eases. The works are then sold to a celebrated watch firm who 
have made a specialty of this business. The firm places the works 
In the handset skillful workmen, who set to work and put them in 
as good condition as possible. These works embrace every variety of 
movement, s one of them being very fine and perfect timekeepers, 
all handsomely cased. We have j'ist purchaied the entire stock 
(25,TK>>') of a bankr pt concern of the above described watches at 
less than the first cost of the raw mrterial. 
On receipt of ife 1.50, the subscription price of House and 
Horne, and $1.00 extra to pay tor packing, postage, and register¬ 
ing, we will send House niul Home for one year numbers), 
and one of these watches, postpaid, to any address in the United 
States. Watches mailed the day the order is received. The watches 
were pnreha-ed specially to go with House mid Home* and 
will be furnished only to subscribers 1o that publication. In order 
to introduce it at once we m ike this unusual offer, which could not 
be made were it not for (he fact that we bought the wutches at one- 
quarter cost of minuiacture. 
On receipt of 50 cents extra we will send onr new and elegant 
Watch-chain, w th a Whistle Chnrrn and Hog Call Attach¬ 
ment— juA the thing for hunters and sporting men.
