Liquid Paints 
are strictly pure linseed oil paints of a higher grade than 
have ever before been manufactured for structural pur¬ 
poses. They are sold by U. S. Standard gallon measure, 
and although they command a higher price than any other 
paints, a saving of 15 to 20 per cent of customary outlay can 
be effected by their use, in consequence of their wonderful 
covering properties and superior durability. 
The finest and most extensive structures in this country 
are painted with these paints, among others the U. S. Capi¬ 
tol at Washington, the Metropolitan Railroad of New York, 
the Oriental Hotel, Manhattan Beach, as well as thousands 
of the better classes of dwellings everywhere. 
Our new Pamphlet, “ Structural Decoration,” with illus¬ 
trations of elegant dwellings, and other extensive struc¬ 
tures decorated with these paints, describing colors and 
trimmings used, with samples of forty-eight newest shades 
for dwellings, sent free by mail.

THE NEW PATENT 
DUST-PROOF 
Stem Winding Open Face Case, 
MANUFACTURED BY THE 
American Watch Co., 
WALTHAM, MASS. 
This case is formed in one solid piece, without 
joint or seam, opening in front only , thus avoiding 
the usual Cap , and securing greater strength and 
durability. 
These Watches are ail open face. The bezel, into 
which an extra strong crystal is fitted with an 
especially prepared water-proof cement, is attached 
to the case by screwing it thereon, and thus forms 
an air-tight junction with the body of the ease, 
which is proof against dust and moisture. 
To railroad men, travellers, miners, lumbermen 
and others who are almost constantly exposed, 
and who have to make frequent reference to the 
watch, these qualities are of the utmost importance. 
The following letters tell titeir 
own story. 
“Valdosta, Georgia, July 20, 1882. 
“ I sold one of your Patent Dust-Proof Cases 
about ten months ago, and the other day it came 
back to me with the request to make it wind easier. 
On examination I found that the stem was rusty, 
and I inquired into the cause of it. The gentle¬ 
man stated to me that he was starting some saw- 
logs that had lodged in the bend of the river, when 
his chain caught in a bush and threw his watch 
into about twelve feet of water, and he was about 
two hours finding it. When he got it out it was 
running and he thought all right. In about three 
months he found that the stem was hard to turn, 
and sent it to me. 
I can say that the watch is all that the Company 
claims for it, and recommend it to all railroad and 
mill men. 
B. W. BENTLY.” 
“Clinton, Iowa, April 29, 1881. 
“ I wish you would send me a spring for the 
Wm. Ellery Watch. * * * By the way, this Ellery 
is a watch I sold in your Screw Bezel Case to a 
farmer last fall. The first of January he lost the 
watch in the woods, and found it this week in 
about one foot of water. It had lain three months 
and over in snow and water, with but slight injury 
to the watch—only a hair-spring. 
C. S. RAYMOND.” 
The above were very severe tests, and demon¬ 
strate beyond a doubt, that for any reasonable 
length of time during which a watch might be 
under water, it would receive no injury whatever.
