This is another Ingersoll Dollar Watch advertisement from the Wood, Alexander & James, Limited magazine.
The 2nd photo, page 452 is advertising their New Jeweled Models, the Waterbury and Reliance. These were first advertised in 1916 and began sales in 1917. I'm not sure what date this advertisement is from but believe around 1917 - 18 because it still refers to them as new.
Thanks for looking,
Dave
