How Watch Cases are Made. 
Imitation always follows p, successful 
article, and imitation is one of tlie best 
proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is 
that the James Bos^ Gold Watch Case has 
its imitators. Buyers can always tell the 
genuine by the trade-mark of a crown, from 
which is suspended a pair 
scales. Be sure both crovm and 
scales are stamped in the cap of the watch 
case. Jewelers are very cautious about en¬ 
dorsing an article unless they not only know 
that it is good, but that the character of 
the manufacturers is such that the quality 
of the goods will be kept fully up to standard. 
Williamsport, Pa., Feb. 13,1883. 
Tlie James Boss’ Gold Watch Cases go like hot 
cakes. Each one I sell sells another. Don’t need 
to recommend them; they seU themselves. One of 
my customers has had a James Boss’ GoldWatchCase 
in use for 20 years, and it is as good as ever. With this 
case I do not hesitate to give my own guarantee, es¬ 
pecially with the new and improved cases, which 
seem to be everlasting. Jesse T. Little, Jeweler. 
New Brunswick, N. J., Jan. 8,1883. 
This gold case. No. 6666, known as the James Boss’ 
Gold Watch Case, came into my possession about 185SL 
has been in use since that time, and is still in good 
condition. The movement is the one which was in the 
case when I bought it, and its condition shows that 
the case has really out-worn the movement, which is 
playedout. Martin A. Howell,
