Men who guide

the destinies of the world wear Rolex watches

YOU KNOW their names as you know your own. You know their faces from a thousand newspaper photographs, their life stories from a hundred magazine articles. You have seen them and heard their voices on newsreels and on your television screen. Their actions and deci- sions influence the pattern of our lives.

We cannot mention their names, or show pictures of them. It would ́not be fitting to do so, for they include royalty, the heads of states, great service commanders. But wo invite you to look carefully at the next pictures that you soo of them, at their wrists as well as their faces and clothes. You will notice that in almost every case they wear a wrist-watch. That watch will most likely have been runda by Rolex of Geneva.

We are prolid of the service given by Rolex watches to so many eminent men. It is scarcely necessary to point out that these watches wre, in the highest degree, accurate and dependable.
