A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH

is THE BEST
1t is made on the best principle, while the for.
eign watch is generally made on no principle
at all.
Let us look at the contrast. The foreign watch
is mostly made by women and boys, 6y hand.
While their labor is cheap, their work is dear at
any price. Such watches are made without plan,
and sold without guarantee. They are irregular
in construction, and quite as irregular in move
ment. They are designed only to sell, and the
buyer is the party most beautifully sold Those
who have kept aneres," lepines" and "Swiss
levers" in professed repair for few years will
appreciate the truth of our statement
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH
Instead of being made of several kindred little
pieces, screwed together, the body of the Ameri-
can Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No
far interferes with the harmony of its working,
and no sudden shock can throw its machinery out
of gear. Secession of one part from another is
unknown to its cons tuition, and in riding on any
business pursuit. it is all held together as firmly
as single piece of metal. 1t lis just what all ma
chinery should be

OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH is

Young America.
THE PROOF Of the merits of our Watch may
be found in the fact that We now employ over five
hundred workmen in our factories, and that we
are still unable to supply the constantly increasing
demand. ssEs
OUR THREE-QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we haye de.
