A GOOD WATCH -. deserves a good k i ki < p2 . chain WORKINGas you do all hours of the day, taking out your watch countleeis times, you've got to have a chain that can stand up without whimpering. Dependable as the watch you carry, Simmons Chains are famous all along the line -with everybody from engineer to second trick opera- tor and back again. And if you're proud of your watch -what rail- road man ien't? -the chain ought to say 80. A Simmons Chain does. Built for railroad service In spite of the long and capable ee- vice you get from them, Simmons Chains still cost very little. The prices of the chains illustrated, for example, are: 12978, $9.75; 3371, $5.25; 261921/i, $10.25. Go to your watch inspector's while you are thinking about ii. Tell him you want to see a Simmons Chain. Swing one across your vest -one that you like especially well. You may be sure it will give you faithful service. R. F.
