A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
IS THE BEST.

! I! is made on the bes. principle, while the
foreign watch IS generally made on no prin-
/ ciple st all. The foreign watch IS mostly
made by women and boys, BY 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 i-reg-
ular in construction. and quite as irregular
in movement. They 4ate designed only TO
sell. and the buyer IS the party most thor
oughlv sold. Those who have kept "ancres, f"
and "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 hundred
/ little pieces, screwed together, the body OF
the American Watch Is formed Of SOLID
| PILATES. No jar interferes with the harmo-
NJ of its working, and no sudden shock can
throw its machinery out Of gear IN riding,
or any business pursuit, It is all held together
as firmly 8 q single piece Of metal. It is just
" hat all machinery should be
Ist. ACCURATE. I'd. SIMPLE. Sd sTRONG.
4t4. ECONOMICAL.
We not only secure CHEAPEESS by our
system. but QUALITY. We do not pretend
that our Watch can be bought for less money
than the foreign m4ts-Je,isr@, but that for its
real value il is sold for one-haif the price.
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH named Wm.
Elerv) is what its name indicates-SolId,
Substantial, and always Reliable-warranted
to stand any amount Of Marching, Riding or
Fighting.
/ OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF
I WATCH manned P. s. BartletCl IS similar IN
Z size and general appearance, bat has more
+ Jewels, aud a more elaborate finish.
/ Our LADIES WATCH, recently brought
out, is put up il great variety Of patterns.
many Of them Of rare beauty and workman
ship, is quite small, bat warranted TO keep
.ir7E
! OUR YOUNG GENTLENAN'S WATCH IS
neat net large, and Just the thing for the
pocket of Young America.
THE PROOF of the merits of our Watch
NAV be found in the feet that we now employ
I over seven hundred workmeH in our factories,
and that we are still unable to supply the
constantly increasing demand.
OUR THREE QUARTER PLATE WATCH
. is thinner ard lighter than theOthers we have
described, Its 6ne chro1ometer balance is
deicately adjusted to correct the variation
caused Uv changes CT temperature. These
watches are the fruits Of the latest expert
meuts in chronometry, and are made by our
best wc-kmea, in ; separate department Of
our factory. For the finest tiuc-keeping
qualities they challenge comparison with the
best works Of the most famous English and
Swiss makers.
