Baby Ben wilj sli snugly even
into small stockings 1
TABY BEN does his
work with a smile
and gets you up the same
way. 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.
