Nos. 00 to 03.—GOOD WATCHES.- 
To get live liight Watch (one satisfactory to ourselves), 
lias (>een the most difficult work in all our Premium 
collections. The country Is flooded with low-priced 
watches — some good, some fair, many worse than 
worthless—a constant annoyance to the owners. Ev¬ 
erybody wants a watch, and most want a cheap otic. 
We tried to meet this want the past year, and sent 
out many hundreds of the best time-keepers wo could And 
for §10 each. From all we have heard, wo snpi>ose just 
99 in every 100 proved good. We know from letters re¬ 
ceived that a large proportion of these ga ve great satis¬ 
faction. About one in three hundred was injured in car- 
lying. (An express company smashed one and paid for 
it.) These were No. 80, described below. The only ob¬ 
jection is the Nickel Case—not a serious one, as 50 cents 
will put on a new thick plating. After much effort, and 
by special favor, we are now aide to offer tiie following: 
No. 60.—A 8000 WATCH. This is a Stem 
Winder and Stem Setter, needing no key or 
opening to admit dust. Dial clear, with Second Hand 
(see engraving above). Crystal strong, thick, flat with 
the new beveled edges ; Case strong, goo 1 looking, heavily 
nickel-plated, a good resemblance to silver. Weight, 4% 
ounces. It is the best time-keeper for a $10 Watch we 
have ever found. We continue to off, r this as a premium, 
and will present it for only 13 subscribers at $1.50 
each, [or supply it for tiie price, $10]. There are as good 
looking watches sold for $7 to $9—but we have never 
found another equally good time-keeper so low as $ 10 . 
No. 61.-EXTRA SILVER WATCH.—This 
is of the same pattern as the above, and made by tiie same 
Company iu Switzerland, hut the case is Coin. Silver , and 
the works are of extra HIGH GRADE, with 13 Jewels , 
Compensated Balance, etc.—as good a Watch as any 
$30 or $40 wa ch wo have ever seen. It is good enough 
for any body. Face about l^.inch in diameter. W'e of¬ 
fer this Wateh with the utmost confidence, that it is one 
of the best and cheapest Watches ever supplied for the low 
price of S15, which is so near the actual cost qf mafeing 
that we can at. best offer it for 30 subscribers at $1.50 each, 
and do not care to furnish it at this rate, except where 
sneha Wateh is specially desired by our friends. [We 
will supply a few. as wo can get them, for the price, $15.] 
No. 02.—EXTRA SILVER WATCH, for 
BOYS or for MEN who want a smaller Watch. This 
is every way like No. Cl, EXCEPT that it is of smaller 
size, the face being about IX inch In diameter. The cost 
is the same except that the smaller case requires a little 
less silver. This wo present for 19 subscribers at $1.50 
each. [Or, we will supply it, when we can, for $14.50]. 
No. 63. — EXTRA SILVER WATCH, 
HUNTING CASE.— (Heavy Coin Silver Case). 
This is precisely the same watch every way as, No. 61 
above, EXCEPT that it is in “ Hunting Case” as shown 
in engraving. It will be presented for 32 subscribers 
at $1.50 each [We will supply it, when we can, for !he 
price, $16.]
