S. Mint assay, or of four‐ teen karat Gold, as may be stamped; and also to our mode of selling the same, charging only for the ACTUAL WEIGHT of the gold used, and n o t for the base metal comprised in springs, key pipes, filling of crown, etc. To illustrate which, we here show copy of tag accompanying each one of o u r Gold Cases, which plainly indicates n o t only the gross weight of the Case, but also the N E T weight of the gold. AMERICAN WATCH Co.,, ROBBINS & APPLETON, New York, August rst, 1881. GENERAL AGENTS. IN EXPLANATION OF T H E ABOVE we desire to say that the old plan of charging for the gross weight of the case, asif it were all gold, worked well enough as long as themanufacturerswere contentwiththe amountof brassand steel actually required in its construction; but when the business was degraded into a contest as to who should get the most base metal into the least quantity of gold and call it aGOLD case, then the time came when in the interest of dealers in American Watches, it became necessary to adopt a plan of selling, showing the buyer exactly h o w much Gold each Case contained. In adopting this method we act in conformity with the earnest wishes of the leading houses of the trade, some of whom have already undertaken to carry out the same idea in their o w n business.
