We are successful in restricting the sale of SOUTH BEND WATCHES to Legitimate Retail Jewelers only be­ cause of two reasons:— I—We sell direct and by so doing ab­ solutely control the marketing of our entire output. 2—We are cautious in quoting prices. The fact that a dealer's letter head reads "Jeweler and Watchmaker" is not accepted by us as evidence that he is a legitimate Retail Jeweler, but we investigate thor­ oughly to ascertain whether or not he is entitled to recognition as such. No other watch has always been sold direct and only to the legitimate Retail Jewelry trade. We give you absolute protection against all unfair competition backed up by a watch of the highest quality, pro­ duced by men who are the "peers" of all in the watch making industry.
