A FEW REAS0sS WHY THE
A Me RIGA II w a r C Il
Is THE REST.

II is made on the best principle, while the for
eign watch is generally made on no principle at 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 irregular in construction, and quite as irreg uar
in movement, They are designed only to sell, and
the buyer is the party most thoroughly Sold Those
who have kept "aneres," "Iepnes, aad ''Swiss le-
vers, )" in professed repair for few years will ap-
preciate 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 PLATES. No jar in
terferes with the harmony of its working, and no
sudden shock can throw its machinery out of gear.
In riding any business pursuit, it is all held to-
getheF as firmly as single piece of metal. 1t is
Just what all machinery should be-
1st. ACCURATE. ID. SIMPLE. Sd. STRONG.
4tb. ECONOMICAL.
We not only secure CHEAPNEss by our system,
but QUALITY. We do not pretend that Watch
be bought for less money than the foreign make
5serss bur that for its real value it is sold for
half the price.
oOR COLDlEE W n 1 III (udued " III. E.Ilei y
is what its name ndicates-SolId, Substantial, and
always Reliable-waIranted to stand any amount
OF Marching, Riding Gghting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH
(named P. S. BartIetD is similar in size and general
appearance, but has more jewels, and more elab-
crate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought out,
is put up in great variety Of patterns, many of
them OF beauty and W, IKmanship, is quite
small, but warranted to keep time.
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCHis neat,
not large, and just the thing for the pocket OF Young
America
THE PROOF of the merits OF our Watch may
be found in the fact that We now employ over sew
en- hundred workmen in our factories, and that we
still unable to supply the constantly increasing
demand.
OUR THREE QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we have descri-
bed. Its fine chronomete- balance is deicately ad-
justed 10 correct the variation caused by changes
of temperature. These watches are the fruits of
the latest experiments in chronometry and are
made by our best workmen, in a separate depart
ment Of our factory. For the finest time-keeping
qualities they challenge comparison with the best
works OF the most famous English and Swiss ma
kers.
