It is a fact not generally known that the 
James Bos^ Gold Watch Cases really con¬ 
tain more pure gold than many “solid” 
gold cases The demand for these watcli 
cases lias led to the manufacture of a very 
poor grade of solid gold watch cases— 
low in quality, and deficient in quantity- 
These cases are made from 4f to 10 karats, 
and a 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for 12 
or 14 karats. It is not economy to buy a 
watch case so poor in quality that it will 
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will 
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus 
letting in dust and damaging the works, or 
one so thin tliat a slight blow will break 
the crystal, and perhaps the movement. 
It IS economy to buy a James Boss’ Gold 
Watch Case, in w’hich none of these things 
ever occur. This watch case is not an experi¬ 
ment —it has been made nearly thirty years. 
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 24,1882. 
I sold two James Boss’ Gold Watch Cases thirty 
years ago, when they first came out, and they are In 
good conation yet. One of them is carried by a 
carpenter, Mr. L. W. Drake, of Hazleton, and only 
shows the wear in one or two places; the other by 
Mr. Bowman, of Cunningham, J?a.; and I can pro¬ 
duce one or both of these cases at any time.
