They are all made in the favorite thin model and have the an- pearance of much higher-priced watches in the design of the case, the dial and even the hands. They are adjusted and timed IN THEIR CASES. ; ; If you are planning to give some one a Watch for Christmas, or as an anniversary remembrance, you may feel perfectly safe if your choice falls on a “MINITRUE.” ‘“‘“MINITRUE”’ Watches for Men and Boys In solid 14k gold cases, gilt or enamel dial,.extra flat, 15-jewel, $32; 17- jewel, $38, In 25-year gold-filled cases, $17 to $22.
