Our interest in a watch
continues — after sell it
If our interest in a watch stopped
with its sale, this store would never
have attained its present reputation.
Nor would it have been specially
chosen by the Gruen Watch Guild
• y! ■
to carry their celebrated timepieces.
We are much interested in what a
watch does after it leaves our store,
for satisfaction alone creates per*
manent customers. Naturally, we sell
good watches only—the land that
insure satisfaction.
The Gruen wristlets shown above
are unequaleJ for beauty and style,
yet sturdily built for utmost time-
keeping service. Gruen diamond-set
wristlets, $60 to $1250; other styles
from $35. Also, highgrade watches
of other famous makes.

LAST 25 YEARS MARK
GROWTH OF SCHOOLS
Washington, D. C.—The quar-
ter of a century from 1900 to
1925 marks an astounding in-
crease in both the enrollment
and the expenditures of the
public schools as is shown by a
survey made public by the Bu-
reau of Education, September
16. The survey show's that ex-
penditures for sites, buildings,
furniture, libraries and appara-
tus of elementary and second-
ary schools combined increased
from $35,450,820 in 1900 to
$433,584,559 in 1925. The value
of school property has increas-
ed 673.05 per cent in the past
25 years. Total enrollments in
public schools have increased
59 per cent during the past
quarter of a century.
