Elgin Opens Spring Season with 19 New Watches for Men

In response to growing demand for a moderately priced I5-jewel watch for men, the Elgin National Watch Company has just announced the appearance of seven new IS-jewel Elgin "Lancers," to sell for $29.75. Twelve other important additions to the line, including three new 21-jewel Lord Elgins, are ready for distribution.


Four of the "Lancers" are 8/0 size; three are 18/0 size. The Lord Elgins are 8/0 size.

The other new models include two new "Crusaders," one of which is flexible lug model, advertised nationally as the Elgin "Flexon." Both of these watches are 8/0 size, contain 17 jewels, and sell for $37.50.

Elgin is also offering new styles in 8 /0, 7-jewel "Cavaliers" and 17-jewel "Streamlines." The new models will be strongly promoted in Elgin's national advertising throughout the spring.
