WALTHAM WATCHES,


I've claim and are prepared to prove, thu
the American watches manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, are not only equal but far superior to the
common watches Of England Switzerland, and
France.
II-while we admit that itwould be dificult to
excel the 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
every respect 10 the most expensive specimens Of
foreign chronometrcal art.
live claim that our Watches are cheaper,
more accurate less complex, more durable, bet.
ter adapted for American use, and more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
| in the market.
| IV--The reasons why our Watches possess these
diva ntages over their European rivals are chiefly
Fgrst Because the principle Of the division of
labor is carried out in our workshops 10 its eN-
tremest limits, not in human industry only, but in
machinery as we'll Every watch passes through
hu udreds Of hands and hundreds Of machines.
aNeCOnQ
| invention to perfect our machinery, and every
profIered improvement in the structure OF watches
TAird Because in each Of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts of viii, a
watch is male up we attain By mechanical pow
er nearly cs6soItsts mathematical precision and uni
formiiy which it is utterly impossible to achieve
by manual labor Wheels, pinions, escapements
balances springs apd screws-exact counte parts
| in weight circumference, and dimenNions-ar,
out by millions by the unerrug because un
swervin z, iron hands o. machinery. Hence every
watch Of any one style is true copy OF its model
v hase results enable US to dtfy foreign ri
valry, because no similar Uniformity and precision
is uttainable by hand, amt because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
| manufacture Of this intricate and delicate mech
anism
VI-Notv, as viii I've seen at once this similar ty
in structur reduces the cost Of production; it Sc
cures unirol nifty in results, tperpeuates and tn
Eagibly diGu yes my excellence that maybe one,
achieved; an d makes it easy to repair any injury
,ustained or replace any part that may be lost ol
destroyed.
VII-In add tion to these mechanical advantages
ourwatches a rcsimplerin structure, and therefor,
stronger, nd css likely to be injured than the ma
iority of foreign watches. They are composed o.
| from lg5 to 800 pie ces. In OLD English wutcf
| there are more ha II 100 parts.
VIlI.-We began our experiment in 1883 in tht
ace OF Il formi dahl e prejudice against American
watches Our syste new and untried w
have steadily increa sed our facilities until nov
We employ over 700 at is ms and sell ~ 900 Natche
u year. Nearly quart er of million ofour watche
are in use To day in every State Of the Union a
well us in the Mexican and British Provinces an
Colonies Hheir unveI sal popularity is the bes
| proof OF thei merit tha { we can produce The
have won tb cir way in spite Of every opposition
and imme mortal preiu dices Hundreds OF deal

Any Of the grades of Wal than Watches may b
purchased of watch dealers generally throughou
the country.
