CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY,

It having come to our knowledge that I'm.
itations of ihe American Watch have been
put upon the market in great number, calcu-
lated by their utter worthlessness to iDjura
the reputation of Our genuine products, I'd
protect our own interests and the public from
imposition, we again publish the trade marks
by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The First has the name
"AMERICAN WATCH CO.. Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate'
The Second has the name
APPLETON, TRACY & CO., Walthau1,
Mass engraved on the inside plate.
The Third he's the name
up. S. BARTLETT; Waltham, Mass" en-.
graYed on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer.
iean Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The Fourth has the name
"NM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate; and is net named on the
dial
All the above described watches are made
of,varous sizes, and are sold in gold or silver
cases, as 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 natnes so nearly approaching our own
as to escape the observation of the unaccus.
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the "Union Watch Co., of Boston, Massi
no such company existing. Some are
named the Soldiers Watch" to be sold as
our Fourth or VIM. Ellefy style, usually
known as the 'Soldier's Watch Others are
named the "Appleton Watch Co. :" others
the P. S. BaItLEY," instead of our 'P. s. Bart-
lett )" besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritabIe productions of the American
Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and patticu-
larly soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches. SO freely advertised in illus
trated papers as ''Army Watches" tOficer's
Watches" "Magic Time Observers" "Arcana
Watches" &C,. the prices of which are stated
to be from seven TO sixteen dollars. good
watch, in these times, cannot be affordedfI:
any such money.
A little attention on the part Of buyers will
protect them from gtoss imposition

1t is well edited, neat in appearance, but
neutral in politics, which we consider great
mistake. Neutral papers, excepting the yend-
