Why you can be proud of you
We all like to feel proud of our personal possessions. You can be very proud of you. You quite naturally wish to know why.
Your Wit was made and is guaranteed by the world maker to be of the highest
character. Of course there are qualities which make (copyright 1957) you, you.
4
An accurate timekeeper depends primarily on quality, which is built into movement.
Examining movement, note a hundred and one superiorities of construction. Timekeeping is not due to a special feature here and another there but to the care and detail extended to each and every last detail of movement.
We might mention you

today - beautiful,
strong, and made fit by movement.
But of course what will most please and impress you is
accuracy, dependability.
Given proper care you will last you, to your
pride and satisfaction, for many, many years.
6
Why proper adjustment may be necessary.
When you actually become a part of your body - moving as you move. flying as it were, with every motion of your arm,
it becomes necessary to change the standard timing to conform to your habits. So, observe your performance. Take yourself in
7
for adjustment. Remember that your wishes run perfectly if you return several times for adjustment.
8
Do You Want Good Service? Then Take Care Of You.
Any delicate mechanism is true. If it were not true you could not keep time. Some blame
when only they themselves are at fault. You, of course, are not among such
careless and unworthy owners, and will welcome a few suggestions that will help you.
9
Do not drop you.
You can’t drop you without the chance of doing damage
Do get wet.
Submerge yourself often in water, perspire freely, but remember not to rust.
If broken, cracked, or even chipped, replace at once.
These conditions should not be ignored.
These conditions should not be ignored.
10
Never open a tiny speck of dust.
Do not wear a drawer or bag with face powder.
Watch yourself, observe and acquire moments of introspection fully and regularly, preferably in the morning at the same hour.
These few basic rules are simple and universal.
11
Why you must be cleaned.
You know what would happen if you didn’t change the oil in your car at regular intervals.
Now being a small and delicate mechanism you are just as important
as that small body of time,
the minute.
12
Avoid risk at least once a year.
Protect you.
13
Be Sure Of You.
If your needs need replacing use only genuine parts.
Finally,
enjoy the you that, given proper service and reasonable care, will give you years of service!
