Ad department - I want this watch

Just going through a bunch of magazines I got at Windy City (which I'm going to do a separate post about) and came across this ad for a watch in the November, 1950 issue of Short Stories. It tells the time, weather, starts a fire and all for the price of 1.98.

When men were men, and clothes were clothes...
