John Smith wants a watch. Beit loal of us, human enm-ph

Exploring, with an alert regard, the field of East Twenty-.hird

i Jewelry Co.. at No. 52:
SEVEN JEWEL WALTHAM AND ELGIN
GOLD FILLED WATCHES.
$4.95. VALUE $10.00.
GUARANTEED JO YEARS.
The names of the r to him as those of
ftandard makes. He poes it: a':.! asks tu see a Waltham watch, the
ob!:;- ? a .genuine (.but very ??'.?; i Waltham, and
while the customer is looking it OV? deftly switches Ins attention
t" a Waldron watch. Now Waltham a W ildron are not quite nearly
?nouph aiike to involve ' with the trademark laws, but they h.-ive
r-ufficier.t resemblance when trippingly on the to fool the
unwary. Let ui t-'.\ i the saleswoman the benefit of the doubt -..'. d con
cede that she did not use the term "Waltham" precisely, but
"Here's a nice Waldthromn watch," -ays she.
Smith's attention i- readily diverted from the first article shown. T"
his unpractised eye the substitute look- all right. "\V-.!l it wear well?"
he a
"1*'- a twenty-year hunting rase." she assures him. "Look. Here's
the guarantee."
Sure enouph, there is the lepend. "Warranted twenty years," but it
ir stamped on the inner face of the outside ease, instead of on the inside
cap where it should be, thus suggesting that the stamping was done,
not by the manufacturer of the case (the Illinois Watch Case Company i.
*r.ut by the dealer or some other person. But. <>f course. .John Smith can't
know this. If he did he wouldn't be such at. eas*-g?*-j-ey.
en-jewelled movement, to"." continue- tVaw
That helps catch John Smith. The mere sound of the word "jewelled"
st:-*p?'-t- a ri -'nor article. Some doubt, however, lingi
"If this of order can I send it to the Waltham Company,
end will they " he asks.
(Th. ? ? . the saleswoman at the Mathieu.- ?tore,
and the reply was idei tically a- I pive it below in the supposititiou
venation with Smith.)
"You can either send it to them, or brine: it to us and we'll iix it

make which will la-' him tv? . Smith p :? - down his $4.95. And
k thii for it:
/ The movement is ne, manufactured by a defunct concern
which !.. on with th? Waltham Compan* than il
with the Tra S an Railroad; and apparently made on some chenp
special order, as ir in any of its parts. Its .-even jewels
which glitter? ightly to the imaginative eye of Smith dwindle
dow ? lone sparkler and that a glass one! The
.? ii a five-year case, Rot a twenty-yeai case, and the "Warranted
twenty y? Under the law the Illinois Watch i
Company becomes liable for the stamped statement, as the case is regis?
tered by them, alt I would appear from the location of the legend
that not tiny, but the jobber or ?baler, may have stamped it upon the case.
Three dol?an and fifty cents would be a fair retail price for the very poor
example f the watchmaker's art.
hi the down! M ; at 243 Broadway, our friend
Smith would have done rath:-'- better. There, if he had tried to gel an
Elgin for ?*?"?. represented as a I nth twenty-year
rase, he would actually have been Bold an Elgin. But it would be the
movement, and nol ?? that was of the twenty-year variety; and
this would be twenty years old, renty years young. It contains
-leven. I The case, branded "Alert," is worth n.out
$1.25 at who'? 4- one guaranteeing it for twenty years would pie
Mimably do so Oil the basit of expecting to he out of reach when the twenty
-.cars wa.- over. The watch il worth perhaps $4.00.
,me that Mr. Smith does his shopping further uptown and falls
Into the hands of our old friend Joseph Clair, of 11)7 Broadway. (Oh,
yes; Clair is still domp the same kind <>f fake trade which was recently
described in The Tribune, at the same old stand.) This time Smith, hav?
ing just found a job with a railroad, i- after a somewhat highei i
watch, for ?> railroad man'? t mekeeper must keep time, not approximate
it. ('lair's .-unburst effect in show windows catches Smith's eye, an i he
enters, to tind himself met by the super-blonde lady who some time since
?sold me the alarm cloc
"Railroad watch?" she repeats. "That's pot to pass the inspection.
You pot to have a po??d watch to do that. It must have at least seventeen
jewels."
"Well, I want a pood watch, but I don't want to po too hiph."
methinp about $35 or I 10?"
"Too much. I can't afford it."
"Well, here's one you can have for .$30."
"Haven't you gol anything cheaper? I've .iust landed this job and I
can't afford to po hiph."
Thereupon she shows him several watches, including a Swiss make
which i," American railroad would allow, and several others under the
standard requirement-, and he finally settles on an Elgin movement in a
ca.-e stamped "20-year guarantee." No price tag appears on this artie'e.
"How much?" inquire] John Smith.
'1 ifteen dollar.-, and a very good bargain at the price."
But the spirit perhaps by the flagrant offers
in the window, is now lively within Mr. Smith, and lie demands to know
whether the lady is joking, and h??w much -he will actually take for it
No; the l?ady - ins?. Playful she may l.e :?.-,] >.- -but never
-ocular on a question of price. "You can't buy that watch for $14.95."
"I don't want to. Twelve do?ars would be a big price. Is it a new
watch?"
"Brand new. Guaranteed. Give me thirteen and a half for it."
"Twelve is my limit."
"My husband would kill me if he ever knev I let it go at that price.
But, then," .-he sighs. "Give me ihe money an?! take it."

held, if desired, until ?ctoher 16.
that the railroad company's watch inspector will not pass ?t depends upon
the percentape of optimism and courage in his character. The timepiece
is?or was?a pood enouph cheap Elgin watch. It is not "brand new,"
hut ten years old at least. It has only ? even jewels, is huntinp case rot
open face, as the railroads demand, is not lever-set as required by the
railroads, and is far below railroad standards. An expert would teil
?fohn Smith that to charpe $12 for th?. watch was outrageous. (Such is
the opinion of The Tribune's appraiser <?n this article.) If the watch
were new, $7 would be a fair retail price. The case is not a twenty-year
case, but what is known a- a .">- i'1' plated case. That is. it contains gold
enouph to be guaranteed for five years, but i? stamped "20-year puar
antee."
On ihe Bowery our Mr. Smith might learn a further lesson in the
specious matter of mechanism by purcha.-inp a chronometer from Mar
mezin & Moskewfky, at 52*. of that classic and almost but not quite re?
formed thorouphfare, represented to be a 17-jewel!ed watch, hut set
down on the sales slip as 11-jewelled. Some careless person had tpm
pered with the numeral 11 so as to make it appear like 17. This
article is remarkable for a very impressive set of windinp wheel.-, on
the top of the movement, calculated to give it character and prestipe.
b?;* Ii: ? ing absolutely nothinp to do with the mechanism!
Or again, Smith mipht discover some interesting examples of the art
c.f jewellinp machinery by callinp on Walter & Co., 18'J Broadway, ..nd
asking t<> see some of the Waltham and Elpin watches so temptingly dis?
played in the window. He wouldn't see thus?? watches (unless he w>re
more fortunate or more persistent than The Tribune purchasers), bul he
would see. at the urgent invitation of the salesman, an "Admiral" watch,
seven jewelled, at %4.b0; and perhaps purchase it, lured by the sparklinp
display within. Herein John would b? fooled. For, while the watch is a
seven-jewelled movement, the bright red sparklers bo conspicuously dis
1 layed on the top were never mined, but made. Like the Bowery time
impressive wheels, they are for looks only If the pivots ran
through to them, the watch would not ?"> at all! It is worth perhaps |8.00.
In many another .-hop, beckoning for his trade with gayly furbished
?ndowi and amazingly liberal offers, mipht John Smith continue his
education, rather expensively, in the subject of "queer" timepieces. But
if he or any other of the Smith or human tribe wishes to get fair value
il the watch market he will do well to beware of the following tricks of
the trade:
1?Watches retailed under names resembling well known standard
trad?- names, such as Hemerton for Hamilton, Hampton for Hamdtn,
Wertheim or Waldron for Waltham, etc.
2?The presence of false jewels and mechanism, including p?a.-- rnd
.??ft compositions instead of rubies, which an- the regular and pr?.p"r
jewellinp for a watch.
3?Old or second hand movements in new cases, sold as new watches.
4?Misrepresentations of required standard.-, as in railroad watches.
.". Fraudulent case stamping and guaranteeing, such as the "war?
ranting" of ?-year cases for 20 years.
6_In general, the attempt of the jeweller to sell a watch other than
the kind asked for.
There are few kinds of trade in which public ipnorance is more gen
eral or more easily played upon than the watch trade, and there are few
in which the faker competes with the honest merchant to so peneral an
extent. II?- is a wise purchaser who, r<*memberinp that in buyinp a time?
piece he is making a permanent and important investment, sticks to stand?
ard makes, of which the name carries its own guarantee. The very fact
that such names are counterfeited or imitated is the most convincinp tes?
timonial to their worth.
