How to Keep
Voor Watch Young!
When regularly cared for, your
watch will give years of fine
service. You owe it to yourself
to have your watch cleaned
and oiled at least once yearly.
It's such a satisfaction to have
a reliable watch—such an
annoyance to have one
that's inaccurate.
Bring your watch to us soon
and let us inspect it—free of
charge, of course! Make this a
yearly habit. It will
pay off!
