SOLOMON SAYS:
"It is not where you buy nor what you
buy that makes the gift. The real sentiment behind the
giving finds expression in the quality and suitableness of
the gift.
.h .A Hamilton Watch for the boy or girl graduate
is an ideal gift because of its standard quality and ue
fulness. The Little "Tick, Tick, Tick" is a constant -e
minder of the love and esteem which prompted the g It.
WILLIAM SOLOMON SELLS THE HAMILTON -
Then there are other articles that make appr cid
tive gifts---Walthan, Elg in, South Bend and all Amedan
and most Swiss makes of watches; Braeelets, Signet
Rings, Stone Rings, Lavaliers, Brooches, Mesh Bags,
Knife and Chain Sets, Silver Belt Buckles, Cuff Buftonq
and Studs, etc., etc.
The long experience of William Solomon in the
watchmaking and jewelry business makes him qualified
to give valuable advice in selecting gifts.
