'- , ' WATCH SMALL AS A Nil 3 :kel Triumph Scored by an American Maker ef Chronometers. The smallest, watch yet turut d out in this country has just been put on. thA market, although few ar on sale yet. The new watch is the u-; of a 5-cent piece. The smallest watch which American watch factories had hitherto succeeded in making had been as big as a quar ter, so the new watch is looked upon as marking a distinct advance in t he industry in this country, where. watches have only been made for a little more than half a century. Watch makers also regard it as indicating that the time is not far distant when Americaus will soon, overtake the old world's watchmakers, the Swiss, ia turning out watches of minute s-.b'e. The Swiss -still make a wat.:h small er than the Americans, but the watch just put on the market Lore .by, both the Waltham and the Elgin companies, tbe two largest 'watchmaking concerns in this country, will have the advant age over the Swiss watches lhat all tho other watches made here have pos sessed, namely, that of being turned out in quantity. Under American methods the daily 'output in one fac tory is 2,500 a day. . The new watch is the result of months of patient ecdeavor by th; watchmakersand machinists. For every new sized vatea' designed new machines have to bo raad?, and as the. size'of the watch is reduced, by so much more must theso machines be tiiade more delicate. Patience is a vjrtue, but hu.;!l is a better one.
