MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1924 Finance War, Sport and Fashion Responsible for Great Expansion of Industries By J. C. ROYLE. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—it time 1s money, the American people know better today where they stand financially than ever before. More people own watches than ever and more Americans cwn more than ono watch than at any time in history. Consequently, the number af ‘watches manufactured in the United States has increased tremendously in late years. ‘One manufacturer reports that his business has grown a thousarid per cent in the last decade. War, sport and fashion are factors which have helped to make that possible. Formerly thore was a stigma of ¢@ffiminaty attached- to the wrist watch but this was effectiyely and forever removed when the strap watch was adopted by sportsmen and soldiers about whose cold blooded daring there could be no question and when they were iesued to the American army to fill an acute need for timépieces of pre- cision imposed by modern war con- ditions. The old custom of purchasing a 014 watch for a boy on his 2ist birthday and expecting that he would carry the same timepiece all the femainder of his life also has fallen into disuné. Watches today are as iong-lived as ever, but Ameri- cans now are buying their watches on & combined basis of beauty, styte and adaptability, for various uses. “The fashion ¢lement has entered into watch wearing,” said Fred G. Gruen, head of the watch factory which bears his name and president of the Gruen Watchmakers’ Guild. “The attitude of the public toward watehes had’ been entirely changed in the last decaie, Amerjca today buys its watches for beauty as well as utility. Before that time, a watch was expected to b6 carrie’ n lifé time, no matter what Its ap- penrance. Now beatity and utility Play equally important parts In its sale. , “The average man has gotten tuto the habit of possessing more than one watch, buying them according of pain. of Sunday, July 27, at the Sweetin | home, where Sweetin Jay il. that there had never been anything between himse'f and Mrs. Sweetin ~and absolved mae 9 3 any complicity in the double erim: ‘Tho text of the gia confessions follow: "I, Lawrence M.

Many men now own and use a wrist watch as well as a pocket watch and this habit is growing steadily. So far as the women are concerned, the effect of the fashion element is even more pronounced. There are watches to- day for afternoon wear, diamond. studded watches for evening wear and sport watches of various beau- tiful designs. The watch now is regarded by the well dressed women im the same light as any other essen- tial part of her attire whereas for- merly it had merely a utilitarian function. _ as a result of this, the retail jewelry business in the United States hes changed its character in Tate years There are now few communities which have not at least one high class establishment which sells relfible goods at a fair profit. The Jewelry business through: out the country has a high ethical standard." * Mr. Gruen added that, in his own company, development of product and workmen has been along the lines of the ancient mediaeval guilds, the effort being to inspire and matin- tatn the same esprit de corps and pride in skilled’ work forced by the old organizations and at the same time’ make these features applicabie to modern business methods. American watch manufacturers are still taking advantage of the knowledge and skill of the Swiss artisans, but through the operation of branch -factories of their own abroad. In this way, they standard. izo products and assure replacement of parte. Inability to secure’ spare Parte for Swiss watches in this country mitigated greatly against the sale of the latter, As indicating the demand for ex- pensive timepieces today, Mr. Gruen sald that there had been an imme diate call for the six hundred solid gold watches made by the Gruen factory to commemmorate its 50th anniversary. Theso watches sre Jeweled with diamonds and rubies continue firing, since shells falling. on the settlement would mean in- stant intervention. Guarding of the toreign ments was relaxed soméwhat peng Genervl Chang, tt was reported, bas requested the American and Britivh consuls to warn their coun- trymen at Chi on the Manchurian. adjoining town, of his intention bomb these places. Supporting his contemplated action, General Chang asserte] that he was engaged in a life and death struggle and could not stop at half measures.
