SPECIAL BUSINESS NOTICES.
REASONS WHY THE
4 M E RICAN WATC

MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS, Is THE BEST
II il made on the best principle. It's frame il
composed of solid plates. No lar can interfere
with the harmony of its working, and no sndden
sheck can damage its machinery. Every piece 10
made and finished by machinery, (itself famous
for its novelty, well an for its eifectiveness,)
and is therefore properly made. The watch is
what all mechanism should be accurate, simple,
strong and economical. Except some high grades,
too costly for general use, foreign watches are
chiefly made by women aud boys. Such watches
are com posed OF several hundred pieces, screwed
and rl'eted together, and require constant repairs
20 keep them IN any kind of order all persons
who have carried "ancres, lepines' - and eng
lish Patent Levers,' are perfectly we'll awa are of
the truth of this statement
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten year, ago, IT was our first object to make a
thoroughly good low priced watch for tho million !,
to take the place of these foreign imposition,
the refuse of foreign factories, which were en-
tirely unsaleabfe at home and perfectly WORTHLESS.
everywhere. zr .rr ..-H -5a s--
How well we have accomplished this, may be
Understood from the fact that alter 80 many years
OF public trial, we now make more than halt OF
all the watches sold the United States, and that
no others have ever given such universal satsfsc-
ton. While this department of our business is
Continued with increased facilities for perfect
work, we are at present engaged in the msnufac-
ture OF watches OF the very highest grade known
TO chronometry, nneuqaled by anything hitherto
made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything
made in the world. For this purpose We have
the amplest iarlhtIes- We have erected an add
ton to our main building expressly for this branch
OF our business, and have filled 1t with the best
workmen in our service. New machines and ap-
pllsnces have been constructed which perform
their work with consummste dehcacy and exact
ness. The choicest and most approved materials
only are used, and challenge comparison be
tween this grade of our work and the finest i'm
ported chronome'ers. We d o not pretend to sell
our watches Tor less money than foreign watches,
but We do assert without fear of contradiction
that Tor the same money our product is lncompar-
ably superior. All our watches, OF whatever
grade, are fully warranted, and this warrantee is
gooa at a times against Us or our agents in all
parts of the world.
CAUTION.-The public cautioned TO buy
only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
