fT- — ; . • , i. In WatcH Selection WE STAND BETWEEN YOU AND IMPOSITION We kaow all about watches—the quality of the case and the quality of the works. We time and regulate every watch we sell. We guarantee every one for five years. We will look the watch over any time you call, time it and rub up the case to make it look like new. We will keep it under life-long supervision and see that it serves you well and faithful. If you get a watch from a general store 500 miles distant, it won’t be satisfactory at the start audit will be less satisfactory ever after A 500 miles shaking and jolting is rough treatment for a new watch, and you have no redress except to repent at leisure. We sell at the same prices as mail order houses. THOS. H. WESTROPE, Jeweler, Engraver, Optician.
