DETROIT, MICH., MY occupation 1s ...... -..A DEALERS' SERVICE STATIONS EVERWHERE You Men Who Move the Traffic of the Nation cannot afford to take chances with time. Nowhere in everyday life are watches consulted oftener than in railroad service. And nowhere are men more discriminating in their choice of a timepiece. There is vast significance in the fact that more and more railroad men are turning to the Hamilton as their watch. The assured accu- racy of it- the sturdiness and dependability of it-have made the name Hamilton famous the world over as the choice of American railroad men. And the reasons for this are obvious. Everywhere that wheels turn on rails you'll find Hamiltons grown old in service. Ten years- 15 years-25 years of accurate time are the boasts of many men who carry them. Just as Conductor W. G. Todd, of the Rock Island "Golden State Express, " has enjoyed Hamilton time satisfaction for almost soyears, so will you, when you own a Ham- ilton, be equipped with accurate time service for years to come. Ask your jeweler to show you the Hamilton 992 in r;~ilroad model cases. This famous ri~ilroadmovement can now be had fitted in cases of dust-proof con- struction wrought from sturdy gold-filled stock and having other special featurcs that only railroad men can appreciate. We have a folder about these models which is yours for the asking, together with a time book that you will find useful. Write today for your copy.
