* WATCHES
THE modem idea in watches is FIRST a good |Time Piece". After
that comes refinements of manufacture and design. Time has made
clear to us, for example, that when a father buys a watch, he wants it
to last mote than bis OWN life. He wants to give it to his son, in turn.
This store has always specialized in "Time Pieces". As the minutes
tick off, we care less about adornment than accuracy. Here you will
find the dependable makes? ;-proud acquisitions for the generations to
come. Ana there are the daintiest, prettiest watches for women, too ?
new models, new designs. It will be worth your while to come and see
them.

His Last Letter
(By W. C. Perry)
Mr. L. C. Brooks was lying on his
bed and knew that he could not llifl
tw(r^re?ks longer so he called one of
bis Servants that had been with him
for twenty years and had been very
faithful. His name was Mose.
Mr. Brooks told Mose to bring him
hlB pen and paper and then he wrote
a very short letter and put It in an
envelope and sealed it, then wrote
on the envelope "Fortune," and told
Mose to keep this letter for a whole
year and then give It to his son that
|41d more work In that year.
Brooks had three sons named
James. Frank arid Henry Brooks who
were all trying to be Ihventors Just
as their father had been.
Frank had been in the next room
and had heard what his father had
said so he went to his other two broth
era and told them what he had heard
and they all decided to Invent some
thing together.
The next morning they all went to
their father and told them that they
were going to Invent something to
gether but their father said that he
didn't reckon he could live to sec them
complete It. so they all left the room
together while he ate his breakfast.
Frank loved his father more than
his other two brothers and he came
back to see him In an hour but when
he opened the door his father did not
move then he went to his bed and
found out he was dead.
Mr. Brooks was buried the next
day and afler the funeral the three
Brooks brothers came back to their
Bhop and were planning for their In
vention and finally decided to try to
invent an engine to make gasoline.
Ten months had passed and Mose
was still working with the Brooks
brothers and had still kept this letter
a secret.
One morning When Mose came to the
shop he did not find anybody there
but Frank, he asked what was the
matter and Frank told him that
James and Henry had sold them their
share in the engine, so from now on
Mose and Frank worked on their en
gine alone.
Wlthi-i three 9'eeks they had com
pleted their invention and sold It for
Boven mil. ion dollars and then Mose
gave Frank the letter which was a
check from his father for four mil
lion dollars.
Frank Brooks was now worth eleven
million dollars so he gave Mose a
million, James a million. Henry a mil
lion and his mother three million and
kept five million for himself. _
