Watch
Repairing
Should a watch be neglected
until stops before taking it to
a jeweler to be repaired?
No!
Why?
Because it permanently injures
a watch to thus neglect it.
Should a watch, then, be regu
larly examined?
Yes, at least once a year it
should be looked over by a
competent watch-maker.
Will this lengthen the life of a
watch?
Yes, a great deal. A drop or so
of oil when needed is as es
sential to the welfare of a
watch as to any other ma
chine —more so in fact. ,
