Trades Guild" says:
"I know that the public in general are set upon having
things cheap, being so ignorant that they do not know
when they get them nasty, also so ignorant that they
neither know nor care whether they give . man his due
I know that the manufacturers, 'so-called,' are so set on
cheapness, not of excellence. that they meet the bargain
hunters half way, and eheerfully furnish them with nasty
wares at the cheap rate they are asked for, by means OF
what can be called by no prettter name than fraud"
We are much mistaken If this is what the public wants
1 or expects, of us, at least. Good watches cannot be made
when neither workman nor employer has pride In MS
occupation interest and pleasure in the work are both
wanting, and both are essential to good matchmaking.
Low price, especially in watches, MEANS Low QUALITY,
WITH Low PERToRNASCE AND HIGH REPAIRS.
Our mission was, and our business -, to make good

together, until we can truly say. waltham Watches, IN
their respective grades, are the best watches made, and
as to the lower grades, they are within reach Of every
body who earns wages. Our prices are - low - they
ought to be, and rs low - they VIII be-. Watches cannot
be made for nothing, even BIZ machinery. We say TO the
