CARD
IA FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY,
of WqLthGzu, Mass.
Of Wakhaza, Mass

of Nathan, Mass.
This COMPANY beg leave to inform the public
that thew commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres OF ground, ana has
cost more than million dollars, and employs ov-
| er 700 operatives. They produce 10000 Watches
year. and make and sell not less than one half
of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this European Watches
are made almost entirely By hand and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity, which is
indispensable to correct time e-keeping Both the
eye and the hand of the most skiIlful operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Ancres Lepines and so
called Patent Levers-which suon cost more in at
tempted repairs, than their original price Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any or brand that
may be ordered.
How AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incompe-
tent workmen. All the Companys operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under one
roof, and under skillful and competent, direc-
ton. But the great distinguished feature of their
Watches, is the fact that their several parts are
all made by the finest. the most perfect and deli
cate machinery ever brought to the aid of human
industry. Every one of the than a hundred
parts of every watch is made by a machine-that
infallibly reproduces every succeeding part with
the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was only neces-
sary to make one perfect watch of any particular
style and then to adjust the hundred machines
necessary to reproduce every part of that watch,
and it follows that every succeeding watch must
be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to makel
A BETTER ARTICLE FOR THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
tenn They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good low priced, and substantial article
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chron-
ometer; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the in
dispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIME KEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that except their single lowest
grade named Home Watch Company, Boston, "
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all times against the Company or its agents.

sicians pronounced his case incurable, when he
commenced the Use of this simple but powerful
remedy His health was restored in a very short
time, and no return of the disease has been appre
hended, for all the symptoms quickly disappeared
and his present weight is more than two hundred
pounds.
Since his recovery he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of Consumption, and the
diseases which are usually complicated with it,
and the cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful. DR.. Schenck

carriages, and in a few months healthy, robust
persons. DR.. ScheDek's PULMoSIc SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic, and MANDRAKE PILLS, are generally
all required in curing Consumption. Full direc-
tions accompany each, so that any one can take
them without seeing DR.. Schenck, but when ii is
convenient it is best to see him. He gives advice
