(Continued from In 1875, thirteen men comprised the entire working force used in the manu- facture of the James Boss’ Gold Watch Case. Now over five hundred are employed, and the number is constantly increasing. The rea- son of this increase is this: In the J« Boss’ Gold Watch Case all the metal in s and subject to wear is solid gold,while the re- | mainder, which only lends strength to the case, is of stronger metal than gold, giving gold where gold is needed, and strong, elastic metal where strength and | elasticity are needed, a combination pro- ducing a watch case better than solid gold | and at ONE-HALF the cost.
