REDUCTION IN PRICE
of the
American Watches.
Made Mt WaItham. Mass.


In consequence of the recent great decline in
gold and silver and all the materials used in the
manufacture of our goods, and in anticipation of
still further decline, we have reduced our
prices to as low point as they can be placed
WITH GOLD AT PAR,
so that no one need hesitate to buy a Watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale Of
MORE THAN 100000 WATCHES,
have given our productions the very highest rank
among time keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
Watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, We have been unable to
supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we now
make more than one-half of all the Watches sold
in the United States. The different grades are
graved on the plate:
1. "Americau Watch Co, - Waltham, Mass.
Q. "Appleton, Tracy & Coz Waltham, Mass.
3. ''P. s. Bartlett,'' Waltham, Mass.
L. s'Wm. EIlery.''
5. OUR LADIES' WATCH of first quality is
named "Appleton, Tiacy & Coz Waltham, Mass
6. Our next quality OF LADIES' Watch 10 named
sep. S. Bsrtlet,'' Watham, Mass. These watches
furnished IN great variety OF sizes and styles
of cases.
The American Watch Co., of Wsltham, Mass,
authorize to state that without distinction oi
trade marks or price
ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FACTORY
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
to be the best tIme-keepers of their class eveI
mad e in this or any other country. Buyers should
remember that unlike the guarantee of foreign
maker who can never be reached, this warrantee
is gsod at all times against the company or theiI
agents, and that il after the most thorough trial
any watch should prove detective in any particu'
lar, it may always be exchanged for another. A,
the American Watches made at Waltham, fol
sale by dealers generally throughout the ountry
we do not solicit orders for single watches. -
