FRISCO ties, timbers and piling have their life greatly prolonged by preservative treatment at the SPRINGFIELD, MO.,and HUGO, OKLA., PLANTS of the AMERICAN CREOSOTING COMPANY INCQRWRATLD LOUISVILLE - KENTUCKY Now Here's a Watch That Knows Its Business!

you ask Conductor Bird Mainard, of the Penn- IFsylvania Lines' "American," bout watchcs he'll tell you that "a Hamilton knows its business." And the business of a r'lilroad watch is to give its owner two things without stint -two things with- out argument- two things without question : accu- rate time and dependable service.

That's the business of a railroad watch. And that is exactly what you can cspect from a Hamilton.

Conductor Mainard will tell you that he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Lines as a freight brakeman on the first of march, 1903. Immediately thereafter he purchased a 2 1-jewel Hamilton. To- day, as a passenger conductor in charge of the "American," he still carries the Hamilton he pur- chased almost twcuty-five years ago.

Here's a shining example of what a Hamilton can do for you. You may not need years of accurate time service, but it is a comforting thought to know you have it when you buy a Hamilton. You do need accuracy and dependability-and that you can be absolutely sure of when you purchase a Ha~nilton.

Ask your jeweler to show you the Hamilton "992" in Railroad model cases. Examine its sturdy beauty-thc splendid dial u it11 "high visibility" numerals. Kcep in mind that inside the case is a watch movement that has helpcd make railroad his- tory-the famous H.~milton992. Here's a watch that, when all is said and done, renders the most econonlical time service that can be had. Ramilton @&ch "The Railroad Timekeeper of America" We shall be glad to send you a copy of the Hamilton Watch Time Book-a pocket memorandum conveniently ruled for quick record and with suflcientpages for one yeur of.service.
