YOUR
WATCH
ami
, A Watch is intended to tell you the
time of day. Unless it does this ac
curately it is worse than useless, for
it is like the man you cannot depend
upon.
Many a man has $25 or $30 tied
tied up in a watch which is worth
less when if he would invest a dollar
or two for having it repaired he would
get the full value out of it.
Often a watch which does not keep
proper time needs regulating* for
which we make . no charge. If it
needs repairing our charges are more
than reasonable, and our work is
guaranteed.
