There';s f4o Good Reason F-821 WHY you should not own one of those fine" gold watches we are now displaying in our show windows, After many years of experience in the watch business we found out, that almost every person who is not wearing a watch, would pur chase one at once , if they knew how reasonable a good watch can be bought and how easy it is to pay for one. Most of them say that they will not own a Waterbury or some other cheap time piece and that they are not able to invest in a good watch We sell'good reliable Watches in Nickle Cases from $5-x up. Fine Toss Filled Watches from $13.00 up. Solid Silver Watches $6.oo up and Solid Gold frouiM.oo up . ' . TTaT It ia ery easy to buy one of our high-grade watches on the installment plan. A person hardly ever feels able to pay the full amount at on time, therefore we adopted this plan in selling these on weekly or monthly payments. If you have a few moments to spare we would like to have you come in ank look at our watches and we will explain our'method of selling them on the installment plan. We do all kinds of Watch and Jewelry repairing. BUKMEISTER & MDRESEN THE OREGON CITY JEWELERS. OREGON CITY, ORIGON
