I've got an ad block with the Dubarry model on it. I searched through all the ads in this section to see if I could find the printed version to post this under, but didn't find one.

I've got an ad block with the Dubarry model on it. I seached through all the ads in this section to see if I could post it under the printed version, but couldn't find one. So I'm putting it here. I'm not sure of the year of this ad block.

If we do have a NAVIGATOR ad from the mid-1940's, I don't think it looks like this one.

These watches have been talked about for a while now, and I think this ad just about puts the subject to bed.

Uhmmmm holy smokes.  This ones going to cause some controversy and maybe a few watch name changes. 

Apparently... in the late 1940's... this version of the President became the... "His Excellency EE"

Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle 1947.   I guess now that I put some thought to it I've always wondered why we never saw any later 40's ad's for this President, though we've seen some of the models this late.

Also for edification this is the 2nd or third copy of this exact ad in New York State newspapers.
