A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY


's>- s"u''f '''' 49, seas4E /
This Company beg leave to inform the public |
that they commenced operations in 1850, and |
their factory now covers four acres of ground, |
and has cost more than million dollars and en- |
ploys over 700 operatives. They produce $4,000
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 keeping. Both
the eye aud the hand of the most skilful opera
tive must vary. 1t 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, Lepnes and
so called Patent Levers-which soon cost more in
attempted 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 name 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 incom-
petent workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch are carried on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
| do hvf ba fipac
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by
machine-that infallibly reproduces every sue
ceeding part with the most unfaling accuracy
1t is only necessary to make one perfect watch of
any particular style and then to adjust the humid
| red machines necessary to reproduce every part
of that watch, and it follows that every succeed
ing watch must be fke it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches
| on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
| by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the ld-fashioned handicraft sys-
| TEN. They manufacture watches of every grade
from a good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chro-
nOmeter and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases but the
Indispensable requisit of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 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.

Strong Testimony.
CASE OF A GENTLEMAN OVER 70 YEARS OF AGE
So. LONDONDERRY, May IL, 1850.
Messrs. S. w. FowLE g. Co.,

For several years past l have been in feeble
health, my disease being of pulmonary nature.
For the last five or six winters have been good
deal afflicted with a SeUere COUgh. The last win
ter l was attacked more violently than ever, and
for several weeks was confined to my ROOM some
of the time in a very critical state, so much so
that my friends and physicians thought that my
days were numbered. At this juncture | COM
menced taking WIsTARs BALsAM OF VILE
CHERRY, the effect of which was truly wonderful.
After the third dose had been taken felt sure
that was receiving great relief, and the use of
whole bottle cured my cough and brought me
back to good state of health, considering my
naturally feeble constitution. l intend TO con-
tinue the BALsAM, and think it a very valuable
preparation. Yours,
JOHN WHITCOMB.

CHILDRENS CORNER.
TWO Little Pairs Of Boots.

Two little pairs of boots tonight
Before the fire are drying;
Two little pairs of tired feet
In q trundle-bed are lying.
The tracks they leave upon the floor
Make me feel much like signing"
These little boots with copper toes,
They ran the livelong day,
And oftentimes l almost wish
That they were miles away,
SO tired / am to hear so oft
Their heavy tramp at play
They walk about the new ploughed ground
Where mud in.plenty liosi
They roll it up in marbles round,
Then bake 1t into pics;
And then at night upon the floor
In every shape it dries.
To-day was disposed to scold;
But when look tonight
Atthe little boots before the fire,
With copper toes so bright,
think how sad my heart would be
To put them out of sight
For in trunk upstairs I've laid
Two socks Of white and blue;
II called to put those boots away,
O God, what should l dot
mourn that there are not tonight
Three pairs instead Of two.
! mourn because thought how nice
Ny neighbor 'cross the way"
Could kee? her carpets all the year
From getting worn or greyi
Yet we'll know she'd smile to own
Some little boots to-day,
We mothers weary get and worn
Over our load of'care;
But how we speak of these little ones,
Let each OF us beware.
What would our fresides be to night
