RICAN WATCH
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS,
is THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. 1t is composed
of SOLID PLATES. No jar can interfere with the
harmony of its working, and no sudden shock can
damage its machinery. Every piece is made and
finished by machinery, for its novelty
as well for its efectiveness,) and is therefore
properly made. The watch is what all mechanism
should be-ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECO
NoMICAL Except some high grades, too costly for
general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by
women and boys. Such watches are composed OF
several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted to-
gether and require constant repairs to keep them
in any kind of order. All persons who have car
ried "ancres" ''lepnes," and English Patent
Levers" are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement
At the beginning of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the Million
to take the place of these foreign imposIions the
refuse of foreign factories, which were entirely un-
saleable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact that after many years
of public trial we now make MORE THAN HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES,
satisfaction. While this department of ou: busi-
ess is continued with increased facilities for per-
feet work, we are at present engaged in the man
ufactuA of watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE
KNOWN TO CHRONoMETRY, unequaled by anything
hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by
anything made in the world. For this purpose
we have the amplest facilities. We have erected
an addition to our main building expressly for
this branch of business. and have filled it wi tn
the best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per
form their work with eonsummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
teriaIs only are used and we challenge comparison
between this grade of our work and the finest i'm
ported chronometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign watches
but we do assert, without fear of contradiction,
that for the SAME MONEY our product is incompa-
bly, superior. All our watches, of whatever grade,
are fully warranted, and this warrantee is good
at all times against our agents in all parts of
the world
CAUTIoN.-The public cautioned to buy only
of respectable dealers All persons selling coun-
terfeits will be prosecuted.

The success of THE OLD GUARD has been as
remarkable as it ought to be gratifying to the
friends of a true American literature. 1t has stead
lily doubled its circulation each year Of its publi
cation and its publishers have found it necessary
to annually enlarge it, to meet the full expecta-
tions of pat -ons, we'll to realize their own
ideal of irst-class Family and Literary Maga-
zine, combined with sound political principles
To still farther carry out this design, The Old
Guard for 1857 will be printed on new type, and
enlarged sixteen additional pages, making in all
nearly One Thousand Pages of reading matter
yearly for the low price of three dollars Arrange
ments have also been made to secure the very best
literary talent of the country. We will commence
in the January number thrilling Romance, writ
ten expressly for The Old Guard, entitled,
JOSCELYN; A Tale of the Revolution;
By VIM. Gilmore Simms, Esq, of S. c.,
the peer of Cooper and Irving, taking the reader
back 10 the birth of the American principle of
government and introducing him TO the rebels Of
1776. John Esten Cooke, Esq. of Virginia, auth
or of Surry of Eagles Nest, tIc,, &c, will fur
nish a series of graphic sketches, entitled The
Battles of Virginia. while our present corps of
contributors, with some ones, will continue to
furnish articles, making the Magazine second to
none in point of literary attraction and ability
Politically The Old Guard will stand in the future
as in the past faithfully guarding the Constitution
as il came from the hands of Washington without
acauiescing in any of the subversions, under the
title of amendments" 1t will be continued up
on the grand idea that al is not lost, while vir
tue and intelligence remain with any portion of
the people
