WALTHAM WATCHES

I've claim, nnd are prepared to prove, tn,
the American Watches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, are not only equal but far superior to the
0oum9n watche, Of England, switzerland, and
France, .-.,.s ..r ...i. ..... ...
H-Wbne we admit that 1t would be dificultto
excel tho masterpieces Of the eminent European
manufacturers, and while we do not claim TO have
made any decisive improvements over them, we
DO assert and challenge successful denial, that
our superior class Of watches are fully equal, IN
4vsrv respect, to the most expensive specimens Of
I'foroi gu 81 chronometrical art. ....lt. oh
Hive claim that our Watches are cheaper,
more accurate. less qomplex, more durable, bot
ter adapted for American use, and more easily
kept in order aud repaired than any other watches
in the market il .i.Ht Hpu .a.uaa
Iv.--rhe reasons why our Watches possess these
I3dvantages over their European rivals arechiehy;
FIRST Because the princtpleof the division Of
labor 10 carried out in our workshops 10 its ex-
tremest llmits not In human industry only, but IN
machinery, m ,As wolll Every watch passes through
hundreds OF hands and hundreds Of machines.
Second. Because we promptly adopt every new
Invention 20 perfect our machinery, and every
neutrality-suspicious. in the tTuetuTe OF watches.
TAlrd Bcoause In zach Of the very numerous,
minute, ana often microscopic parts of which a
watch is male up, we attain by mechanical pow
or ncafly bsolte mathematical precision and uni
f6rnfty, which tits utterly impossible to achieve
by marital labor. Wheels pinions, cscapements,
balances, springs, and screws-exact countorparts
in welghtt elrcupfeTenee, and dlmenslons-are
turned out BIZ millions by the unerring, because up
swervlng, iron hands Of machipery. Hence, every
watch Of amy style Is true copy Of Its model.
! oN--ihese results epablh us to defy foreign RI
yalry, because no smllar uniformity and precision
is attalnable by hand aud because in Wal ham
| alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manuIacture Of this Intricate and delicate mech
anism. "a 3rarI rlsHa". l.i'H..
vI-Now, as win be seen at once, this similarity
in structure reduces the cost Of productions It Sc
cures uniformity in fssultsi itperpetuates and a.
yalii6ly dIftises any excellence that may be once
achieved and makes 1t easy to repair anyinIury
sustained, fireplace any parttha may be lost oI

ourW atehes are simplerin structure, and therefore
stronger and less likely to be injured than the ma
ljority OF roreign watches. They are composed Of
from l25 to 800 pieces. In an old English watch
there are more than TOO parts
vIII-we began our experiment IN 1853, in the
face, Of formidable prsludies asaiPStAmsricAi
watches. Our system was new and untried w
have steadily Increased our facilities, until nov
weempIoy over 700 artisans, and sell 10 600 watche
u year Nearly aquarter Off million ofour watebe
, arein use to-dhyl In every state OF the Union, a
Wen rs In the Mexican and British Provinces an
+ Colonies, Their universal popularity Is the bes
J proof OF their merit that we produce. The
! have won their way in spite Of every oppositlo
and OF immemorial prejudices Hundreds ofdeal
all over the country have expressed thOir pref
crenee fotourproducts after long and pfactica
experience with foreign watches. ...
/. Any of the grades of waltham Watches may b.
purchased Of watch dealers generally thoug CHOU
