ceived from Messrs. Robbins & Appleton, General
Agents Of the American Watch Company, and
paid good looking Watch, 81 warranted with
the request that after thoro ugh trial should say

our constant companion nearly year. We have
M faut find with the way it has licked the time.
We do better time piecs than this has prov

ourself) it has scarcely varied a half minute =
month from transit time Added to its quality
a good time keeper, it is honestly and substan-
TALLY made. Were going to purchase, we should
prefer An American Watch.

CAUrloN-As Watch is extensively
ounterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have to
/ II form the public that no Watch is of our produc-
tion which is unaccompanied by certificate OF
genuineness, bearing the number of tine watch,
and signed by Treasurer p. E. Robbins, or by
our predecessors Appleton, Tracy & Co.
As these watches for sale by jewellers gener-
ally throughout the Union, the American Watch
Company do not solicit orders for single watches.
