5STEM WIND STEM SET
7When the first Ingersoll Watch was offered at the price of a few carfares the watch business was turned upside down. Now 8,000
9Ingersoll WATCHES are being made every day and 50,000 merchants are selling them. The announcement of the new Stem Wind Dollar Watch caused another upset. It's an entirely simple, plain and perfect little arrangement, and the Ingersoll guarantee stands back of it.
11LOOK FOR THE NAME WHEN YOU BUY
13There are thousands of people in this country who have never looked at the name on the dial of a watch until the works gave out, and have then discovered that the dealer took their money for an undependable, unguaranteed substitute that had considerably more profit and considerably less quality in it.
15The time to look for the name on the dial is before you pay. The Ingersoll is the original Dollar Watch and the only watch sold at less than $8 that does all the work you want a watch to do.
17Other Ingersolls: The "Eclipse" in german silver, gun-metal or gold-plate, $1.50. The "Triumph" in silver-plate or gun-metal, $1.75. The "Gotham" in fancy gold-plate cases, $1.75. The "Midget" Ladies' Model, $2.00. The "Midget Artistic" beautiful ornamental case and antique ring, $2.50.
19The Ingersoll Dollar Chain assays more gold than any $2.00 chain—12 beautiful patterns. In stores everywhere, or by mail, postp.id, and guaranteed—$1.00. CIRCULARS FREE.

29It is this Ingersoll guarantee that tells the story. Nothing ambiguous about it. If you pay $40 for a watch you can't get such a strong guarantee with it, and any jeweler will tell you so.
