PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
WAL7HAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market. They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from 125 to 300
pieces: while in an old English watch there
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT.
ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1866.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
have been in use this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of tn nj carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time-keeper. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have had in use
on this road. AS you are aware, we formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture, of ac-
knOwledged good reputation but as class they

In these statements am sustained by nv pre-
decessoI, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years,
Respectfully,
EDWARD Fl. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent
american Watch Co., Walthana.
We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy Il Co., Waltham, Mass.
WaItham Watch Co., Waltham, Mass.
p. s. Bartlett, Waltham, Mass
VIM. Ellery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Co., Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be the best material, on the
most approval principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time-keeper Every deal
selling these Watches is provided with the
Compary's printed card of guarantee, which
should accompany each watch sold, SO that buy
ers may feel sure that they ahe purchasing the
genuine article. There numerous counter
feits and limitations of our Watches sold through
out the country, and we would caution purcha-
sers to be on their guard against imposition.
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur
chased of Watch Dealers throughout the country

DEATH OF AN EMINENT RABBI IN TEXAS
On Thursday last, the mortal remains of the
Rev. DR.. Steiner, the learned, profound and
accomplished Rabbi of the Hebrew congre-
CATION of Houston, were followed to the
grave by a large cortege of mourners. DIR.
Steiner was man of great profundity as a
historian and a linguist, besides being an
accomplished musician and painter. He
was of a sociable nature, charitable, and
qualities that we denominate Christian
virtues" but which, alas less frequently ex
list in the reality than in the name.-Houston
