CAUTIoN-As our Watch is extensively
ounterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have to
n form the public that no Watch is of produc-
tion which is unaccompanied by a certificate of
Venuineness, bearing the humber of the watch,
and signed by our Treasurer, r. f. Robbins, or by
our predecessors, Appleton, Tracy & Co.
As these watches are for sale by jewellers Gener-
ally throughout the Union, the American Watch
lonnnany do not solicit orders for single watches
