higher grades. European Watches are the product
of the cheapest labor of Switzerland and the result

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 Company's operations from
the reception of the raw materials to the completion
of the Watcn, are carried on under one Roof, and
under one skillful and competent direction. But
the great distinguishing feature of their w atehes,
is the fact that their several parts all made by
the finest. the most perfect and desicate machinery
ever brought to the aid of human industry Every
one of the more than hnndl ed parts of every
Watch is made by a machine=thst infallibly re-
produceseve succeeding part with the most un-

one perfect atch of any particular style and then
to adjust the hundred machines necessary to re-
produce every part of that Watch, and it follows
that every succeeding w Wateh must be like it. g..
The Company respectfully submit their w Watches
on their merits only. They claim make ,.;,s

from good low priced and substantial article, in
solid silver hunting cases. to the finest chronome-
ter and also ladies' Watches in plain gold or the
finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the indis-
pensable requisite of all their Watches is that they
shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS.Y 1t should be
remembered that, except their single lowest grade
