CHOICE WATCHES. 
The phenomenal success of the previous 
offer of watcjies by The Rural New- 
Yorker to its subscribers Is the cause of 
the extensive revision of those offers, re¬ 
sulting In the following attractive proposi¬ 
tions. 
The Rural wishes to have it distinctly 
understood that it neither expects nor 
cares to make money out of its subscribers 
by selling watches. It wishes to increase 
its circulation, and it can best do this by 
giving them the best of everything at the 
lowest rates. Any subscriber can precure 
any Waltham or Elgin watch in any kind 
of case through this paper, but for the con¬ 
venience of subscribers little acquainted 
with watches this offer contains a certain 
number of complete watches at wholesale 
rates. All are sent, prepaid and insured, 
by registered mail. 
Nickel Sliver Watch, Men’s Size. 
No. 1 C is a Waltham or Elpin 7-jeweled 
watch containing compensation balance, 
safety pinion, etc. It is In a solid nickel sil¬ 
ver, open face case. For boys' and working- 
men’s wear it is especially recommended, 
bf cause the front and back screw off and 
on, making it dust-tight. This watch need 
net be opeLtd at all, because it is a stem 
winder, and it sets by pulling on the stem, 
thereby doing away with the risk attendant 
upon opening. The crystal is made of 
heavy plate glass that will stand a heavy 
pressure. This watch is full men’s size, 
and the works are good enough to go into 
a gold case. Any person who gets one of 
these watches will find that some of his 
friends have watches which cost $15 to $20, 
but contain these works ; guaranteed to be 
an accurate timekeeper. Gold-filled watch, 
men’s size, price $6 ; with a year’s subscrip¬ 
tion $6 50; given for a club of three new 
subscriptions and $9. 
No. 2 C, Waltham or Elgin; 7 jewels and 
all the Improvements mentioned above. 
The case, which is open face, is made by 
taking two plates of solid gold and filling 
the space between them with a fine compo¬ 
sition metal. If the filling were removed 
a solid gold case would then remain. 
Recognizing the fact, however, that a case 
with a filling in is more durable and just 
as handsome, we have made an especial 
bargain whereby any subscriber may have 
this fine watch at wholesale price. It will 
be mailed to any R. N.-Y. subscriber, safe 
delivery guaranteed, for $12; given for a 
club of five new subscriptions and $17. 
Gold Watch, Hunting Case, Men’s 
Size. 
No. 3 C, the same as No. 2 C, but with 
hunting case, richly engraved with Ver- 
micelld or frost work. Price to subscribers, 
$15 50 ; given for a club of eight new sub¬ 
scribers and $22 
Full Jeweled Watches. 
Many subscribers will wish full jeweled 
watches. They can have full jeweled works 
in Nos. 1 C, 2 C and 3 C for $4 in addition 
to the prices named. Rtnnmber, how¬ 
ever, that we guarante e every watch offered 
to be an accurate timepiece.
