H OW WATCHES ARE 
MADE.—In a Solid Gold 
Watch, aside from the necessary 
thickness for engraving and pol¬ 
ishing, a large proportion of metal 
is needed only to stiffen and hold 
the engraved portions in place, 
and supply strength. The sur¬ 
plus gold is actually needless. In 
James Boss’ Patent Gold Watch Cases, 
this waste is saved, and solidity 
and strength secured by a sim¬ 
ple process, at '/ 3 to '/, the cost. 
A plate of solid gold is soldered 
on each side of a plate of nickel 
composition metal, and the three 
are then passed between polished 
steel - rollers. From this the cases, 
backs, centers, bezels, &c., are cut 
and shaped by dies and formers. 
The gold is thick enough to ad¬ 
mit of all kinds of chasing, 
engraving and engine turning— 
and these cases have been worn 
perfectly smooth by use without 
removing tlie gold. This is th e only 
Case made under this pr ocess and war- 
ranted by s pecial cer tificate. For sale 
by all Jewelers. 150,000 of these 
Cases now carried in the TJ. S.
