C.T. Higginbotham is known for his 10 booklet series on watch repair put together while he was Consulting superintendent at the South Bend Watch Co. Well, here is the first edition to the series. Take note that this booklet says it is the first of a series for jeweler's associations, but when his 10 volume booklet series "short taks to watchmakers" came out, Temperature Adjusting was the first. This booklet was made for the Iowa Jeweler's association statewide meeting in 1907. The Iowa jeweler's association was started in 1906, so this would have been very early for them.

Here is the back of the booklet. Typical South bend in ice illustration.

Here are the illustrations, although bad from years of sitting around.
