80 REASONS WHY F4E .--s =
A III ERiCAN WATCH.

MADE At WALTaAM, MASS, IS BEST
tbs made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed OF sold plates, No jar can interfere
with the harmony OF its working, and no suddsn
shock can damage its machinery Every piece n,
made and finished by machinery, GtseIfifamou.
tor It's novelty us we'll dc for its efFectirenes. Z
and rs thereiore properly made. The watch .is
what ell mechanism should be accurate simple
strong AID economcal. Except some high grad es
too costly for general use, foreign watehe. are
chiefly made by women aud boys Such wstehe.
are composed OF several hundred pieces, screwed
and riveted together and require constant repairs
toikeep them IN any kind OF order. All persons
who have carried "ancres, - GIeplnes :, and eng
lsh Patent levers,'' are perfectly well aw are of
the truth of this statement.
AT the beginning CT our enterprise more than.
ten years ago, IT was our first object to make a
thoroughly good low priced watch for the million
to take the place of these foreign impositions
the refuse OF foreign factories, which were en-
tirely unszleabie at home and perfectly worthless
everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may be
Understood from the fact that after SO many years
OF public trial, we now make more than halt of
all The watches sold in The United States, an that
no others have ever given such uniyeriaI satsfac-
uoa. While this department OF our busines. is
continued with increased facilities for perfect
work, We are at Present engaged ia the msnuf.c- +.
ture of watches of the very highest grade knowp
to chrQa9'astry, nHouq lled by anything hitherto
made hy Ourselves; ana unsurpassed by anything
~ '"e "C.4u' - 'tI-S purpose we have
the amplest facilities. We have erected an add
ton main building expressly for this branch
of oar bu-;ne.s, and have filed 1t with the best
workmen ia our service. New machines and ap-
planes have been constructed which perform
their work with cogsunmate delcacy and exact,
ness, The choicest ans-Seost approved materials
only are used, aad we challenge Comparison be-
tween this grade Of work and the finest i'm
ported shronome'ers. We 40 not pretend TO sell
our watches Tor less money than foreign watches.
but do assert without fear of contradiction
that for the same money our produc, is ihcompar-
ably superior. All our watches, OF whatever
grade, aEestIiiy arEaateds and this .waTrentee is
