In the United States for the sale of Charles Frodsham
Improved Timekcepers would respectfully call public
attention 10 his extensive and valuable stock of Com
pensated Chronometer Watches made by Charles
Frodsham, and styled his :" New Series" In the
Watches Of the new series, Mr.. Frodsham has sue
ceeded-by more perfect method of compensation,
a correct adjustment in isochronism aud an en-
tirey and peculiar construction Of the train by
which more power is obtained without increase Of
size-in producing tmekeepers 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 the adjustments, that the most violent ex

ducos on them sensible effect. They therefore
peculiarly adapted to railroad purposes.
