YOU will agree with ns tbat it would te a difficult matter to find a man or woman who g\» C«%«/ti«l dislikes the idea of westing a gold watch. \j\ duCvltll Many never expect to be able to afford one; * others again can easily afford it, but do not like w a H __i. ±f. to run the risk of losing such a valuable possesinivlvdl 10 aipn.

These ' Hot. gold-filled watch cases are made of two 1 plates of solid 14ct. gold, with a plate of hard composition metal between them, thus making the surfaces that are exposed to wear of solid gold, and using a cheap metal to obtain stiffness and strength, thereby obtaining a ease whioh ' or —* practical purposes is equal to solid gold, _jffow_«wf|flssßK| at a cost of from one-third to one-half the cost I of a solid gold ease.
