WATCHES CLOCKS JEWELRY
Seth Thomas Watch in argentine case for $10 in new subscriptions; in
silver case for $15 in new subscriptions. Postage 10 cents.
There is strong competition between the American watch-manufactories on
low-price watches. The struggle is to make the best for the money. That
is the way to capture the market. Seth Thomas watch is ahead.
We buy the movement separate. There is no established price for the
watch as we send it out. We are giving the most we can get for the
money. The watch is a good time-keeper; durable; open-face; has seven
jewels; is decidedly worth repairing; good enough; a great deal better
than any foreign watch for the money; better than any other American
watch for the money.
The argentine case is a substitute for silver, substantial, keeps
its silver look. The silver case is no better, unless you object
to an imitation. The argentine case is plain, the silver is chased
(“turned” is the technical word), the neatest of watch-case engraving.
Stem-winders and setters of course.

Perhaps a million of these watches are in use. As good a time-keeper
as any common watch and bears a good deal of banging. The only fault
we ever heard of in it is the slowness of winding—takes about a minute
and a half—stem-winder at that. The makers undertake to repair it for
50 cents and postage. The case is bright nickel, or what is called
nickel—looks like silver.
