OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JAN ,8 1914
Big Ben is right on the job
every minute of the day.
You can depend on him not
merely to wake you on tim,
but to keep fine time and
run a long time.
He's heavy, massive, hand
some. He weighs three
times as much as an ordi
nary alarm. He lasts three
times as long.
He's got a big, frank, open
face you can easily read in
the Him mornine lieht, a
cheerful, deep-toned voice
that will wake you on your
sleepiest morning.
He's a great clock for those
who've got to get up in
time and live on time. He's
the one alarm clock you can
always count on.
We have just received a
fresh shipment and placed
some on display. Take a
look at them whenever you
walk by.
