How Watch Cases are Made.
In buying n silver watch case great caro
slioultl bo taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. Tho cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
ns albata, which is a very poor substitute
fur silver, as it turns black in n short time.
The backs of such cases aro made much
thinner than tlio.se of nn all silver case,
being 'robbed in order to mako the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
tho cheap metal. Another important point
in asilvcr case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made ,of gold. Thoso of most
cheap cases arc made of silver, which is
nut n suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing tho backs to become loose
Upon the case nnd admitting the dust nnd
dirt that nccummulnte in tho pocket. Tho
Keystono SilvcrWatch Cases nro only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

there was' a son of the house a tall

"May you both be happy t" mur
