It as a fact not generally known that the James Boss’ Guid Watch Cases really con- tain more pure gold than many “solid” gold cases The demand for these watch cases has led to the manufacture of a very poor grade of solid gold watch cases— low in quality, and deficient in quantity. These cases are made trom 4} to 10 karats, and a 5 or 6 karat case is often sold for 12 or 4 karats. It is sor econ to buy a watch case so poor in quality that it will soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus letting in dust and damaging the works, or one so thin that a slight blow will break the crystal, and perhaps the movement. It IS economy to buy a James Boss’ G: Watch Case, in which Nonz of these things ever occur. This watch case is not an experi- ment—it has been made nearly tairty years.
