SELF-WINDING 1
WATCHSHOWN
Dortmon ftwl?
troduces Convenient Nov
elty Time-Piece
Adding yet another to the com
forts of modern life, and relieving
burdened minds of another re
sponsibility, a self-winding watch
is being introduced to Brownsville
by Dorfman's Jewelry store.
This clever device comes In the
form of a wrist watch with a con
trivance so delicately balanced
among Its usual works as to very
nearly approximate perpetual mo
tion, I. Dorfman, proprietor of the
store, says. The wearer puts on
the watch and forgets all about it.
Motions of the arm keep it going,
and it Is said that if the timepiece
is worn as much as four hours a
day the self winding device will
keep it going for an average of
thirty-six hours longer.
The new watches appear In ch*c
and attractive cases, and ore said
to be just as durable and mechan
ically dependable as any of the well
known makes.
NEWPORT, R. I.—Horrid of
Father Neptune! He has fired a lot
of garbage up on Bailey’s Beach,
where the real elite go bathing. The
city fathers have ordered that
dumping be farther out at sea.
