Not so easy sometimes, either, on those cold, dark mornings when youM a lot rather stay inbed for another little roll-over nap. Maybe it's his littleness that gets him so many friends: folks chum up with Baby Ben on sight. But he's a lot more than just cute! Otherwise his friendships wouldn't last. He's a good timekeeper and a dependable alarm true to the Vfestclox reputation. Baby Ben will call you once with a long ring or he'll coax you gently out of bed with intermittent calls any way you say. . He's just about as big as a minute but he takes every minute seriously as a good timekeeper should. ' That Westclo construc tion inside his case is wht helps him make good. The name, Westclox, on the dial and tag always means West clox patented construction; and "honest, faithful time-keeping. WESTERN CLOCK CO., LA SALLE, ILLINOIS, U.S. A. Maker of mstcUx.
