Improved Tmekeepers would respectfully call public
attention to his extensive and valuable stock Of Com
pensated Chronometcr Watches, made by Charles
Frodsham, and styled his New Sories.n In the
Watches Of the series, Mr.. Frodsham has sue
ceeded-by more perfect method Of compensation,
more correct adjustment in isochronsm and an en-
trely new and peculiar construction of tho train by
which more power is obtained without increase Of
size-in producing timekeepers of wonderful and un-
rivalled accuracy The great Importance Of the i'm
proved Watches Is perfect regularity of time under
every variety Of climate, motion, and position. So
perfect are the adjustments that the most violent
ercse-such as horseback riding, jumping, &c.-pro.
duces on them no sensible effect They therefore
peculiarly adapted to railroad purposes.
