REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at Waltham, Mass.
Is THE BEST

Is
I,ismsde o the best principle. Iu frame is
composed OF solId plates. No Jar can interfere
with the harmony of its working and no sudden
made and finished by machinery Itself famous for
it's novelty, well for its effectiveness and
therefore properly made. Tn. watch 10 what all
mechanism should be-Accurate, Simple. Strenp
and Economical. Except some high grades, too
costly tor general use, foreign watches chiefly
made by women and boys Such watches are
composed of several hundred pieces, screwed
and riveted together and require constant repairs
to keep them any kind of order. All persons
who have carried ssancres, - slepines'' and eng
lisb Patent Levers, - perfectly well aware of
the truth of this statement.
At the beginning ofour enterprise, more than ten
years ago, 1t was our frss object To make a thor
oughly good low priced watch for the million, to
take the place of these foreign objectionable
refuse of foreign factories-whic were entirely
unstable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact, that after many years
OF pub trial, we now make more than half of all
the watches sold in the United States, and that o
Ithers have ever given such universal satisfaction.
While this department of our business 10 contin-
ued with increased facilities for perfect work, we
are at present engaged in the manufacture of
watches OF the very highest grade known to
chronometry, unequalled by anything hithert
made by ourselves, and unsurpassed BY anythi.g
made in the world: For this purpose we AVE
the ampl lest facilities. We have erected an add
ton to our main building expressly for thi branch
of our business, and have filled II wit. the oeH
workmen in our service. New machi.es and aP
planes have been constructed, w,4ch perform
their work with consummate delic4cy ana e1ee.
