How Watch Cases are Made. 
This process of manufacture was invented 
by James Boss, who started in business in 
1854, and the methods and tools used in 
making these watch cases are covered by 
patents. This is the only watch case made 
under this process. For many years the in¬ 
troduction of these goods was slow, owing 
to popular prejudice against “plated” goods, 
but gradually the public learned that the 
James Boss’ Gold Watch Case was not a 
cheap gold^washed or electro-plated article, 
but was made of genuine gold plates of 
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious 
adherence to the determination to make 
the best watch case ever put on the market, 
and the adoption of every improvement 
suggested, has made the James Boss’ Gold 
Watch Case the standard.

bility and beauty. Their Asbestos Liquid
