a large proportion of tlie metal is needed 
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por¬ 
tions in place, and supply strength. The 
surplus is not only needless, but undesira¬ 
ble, because gold is a soft metal and cannot 
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity 
necessary to make the case permanently 
strong and close-fitting. The perfect watch 
case must combine gold with some metal 
that will supply that in which the gold is 
deficient. This has been accomplished by 
the James Boss’ Gold Watch Case ^ 
TRADE 
which saves the waste of need- 
less gold, and increases the solidity and 
strength of the case, and at the same time 
reduces the cost one half.
