CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY,

put upon the market in great number, cslcu-
lated by their utter worthlessness 10 injure
the reputation Of our genuine products, 10

imposition, we again publish the trade marks
bv which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The First has the name

The Second has the name
APPLETON, TRACY & CO, Walthamf
Mass, engraved on She insiae plate.
The Third has the name

All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial, and nrs
warranted in every respect.

on the inside plate, and is not named On tho
dial
All the above described watches are mad
ofsvarious sizes and are sold in gold or silver
cases, rs may be required.
1t is hardly possible for Us to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are Usually inscribed
with names so nearly approaching our own
as TO escape the observation Of the unaccus-
toned buyer Some are represented as made
by the 'sUnion Watch Co, of Boston, Mass"
no such company existing. Some are
named the "Soldier's Watch" to be sold as
our Fourth or Vim. Ellery style, usually
known as the Soldiers Watch Others are
named the appleton Watch Co. !" others
the p 5. BaItLEY,n instead of our "P. 9. Bart-
lett;' besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritable productions of the American
Watch Company.
We also caution the prtlic, and particu-
iarly soldiers, against buying certain articles

traled papers as Army Watches" Officers
