Text Appearing Before Image:
Rack for 75 Watches, 4- Cross Bars, $6.00 Rack for 1 OO Watches, 5 Cross Bars, $7.25 This Rack has great advantages over other and previous makes. It has three uprights or standards in place of twomade formerly, which gives it a firmness in center of Rack so that the rods on which the watches hang cannot possiblyg or bend downwards when hung full of watches, as the old style does. The Acorns on ends of cross bars and on top ofindards cannot become loose or shake off. The cross bars have a slot running the entire length in which slip the watch hooks, thus giving them a spring fit not otherwise obtained. The Rack for 100 watches is made like this.ly it has five cross bars. The Twentieth Century Catalogue of Supplies GROUTS New Railroad Watch Sign WITH ENGINE ATTACHED.Swell Metal Dials.
