"UST as much care is used in selecting , the jeweler to sell you a SOUTH BEND watch as is used in making the watch itself. , - " , v Not every jeweler, or person . choosing to call , themselves so, or kt'wh'o sell watches,; is permitted to . i ; ,,selr SOUTH BEND AyATCHES. ' They are sold only by reliable; experienced jewelers,; who can" properly K adjust jand care for th cm. r'; You can buy them nowhere except from our authorized representatives. s Every jeweler, before he can offer you a SOUTH .BEND '-'Watch, before we will consent tp sell him our . watch . movements must satisfy us that he is competent to assist-you in selecting the watch exact ly suited toyour individ ual needs and adjust it, as every good watch must be adjusted by a jeweler, in such a manner as to give you the greatest amount of time-keeping service" for your money. ' . When you buy a South Bend Watch, you know that you have had the most skilled watch expert in your community to assist you in your choice and look after your perfect satisfaction. No other maker in all the world is willing to spend the time and money necessary to pick the jeweler. y r We know it pays you and us, however, be cause werknow, arid every watch manufacturer and every good jeweler knows, that the watch that keeps perfect time in your pocket cannot be depended upon to keep time in another man's pocket. The highest grade, most costly watch made will fail as a timekeeper unless it is adjusted to meet the individual requirements of the person carrying it. You cannot adjust your watch yourself. Only a skilled watchmaker can adjust the deli cate screws., A variation of one hundred thou- ! it i f-1 J A SOUTH BEND Watch wheel makes a difference of one second per day; a difference of one one-thousandth part in the. vibration means a gain or loss of a min ute and a half a day, and a watch which varies that much is useless as a good timekeeper. All the skill that money and experience can command is put into SOUTH BEND watches and, grade for grade, they are superior to any other watch made, but even a " South Bend watch must be adjusted to thejndividual who carries it if time-keeping service is to be ob tained. . . . No extra charge is made for this service. ' We gladly pay the jew eler for his assistance to you, that, we may know that every purchaser of a SOUTH J BEND watch has a satisfactory, time piece. " .. SOUTH - BEND watches, cost no more than other ' watches pf similar, grade. Every SOUTH BEND watch, before it leaves the fac tory, must undergo tests that are twice as severe as the worst strain yoq will ever give it. It is bake'd in an oven and kept for hours in a refrigerator at freezing point, to demonstrate that it will keep perfect tim,e without being influenced by the changes in temperature. It must keep perfect, time in " every position, and not be affected by the. jars, and jolts of railway trains, horseback riding, automobiling,- etc. You might freeze Jt in a block of ice with out injuring it in the slightest degree. No watch, no matter how good it might be in itself, sold in the way other watches are usually sold, could possibly' give the .service that a SOUTH B$f'D watch -does. Your jeweler will 'gladly show you this beautiful modern watch and tell you about it. lie will : explain to you why SOUTH BEND watches keep time better than any other watch'. . If . your jeweler is riot our representative, Send us his name and we will take the' matter up with -. him personally, and also send you, free, ou handsome book, "How Good Watches atffc , Made," and a little device showing how a.
