WALTHAM WATCHES

1--we claim and are prepared to prove tht
the American W atches, manufactured atwaltham,
Mass, not only equal but FAR sup, rior to the
common watches of England Switzerland, and
France.
H-whlle we admit that it would be dificult to
excel the masterpieces of the eminent European
manufacturers aud 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, IA
svery Tesiect to the most expensive specimens Of
forei gn Ghronometrical art
II We claim that our Watches are cheaper,
more accurate, less complex, more durable, bet.
ter adapted Tor 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
dvautages over their European rivals are chiefly
Fyrst. Because the principle OF the division ol
labor is carried out in our workshops 10 its ex-
tremest limits not In human industry only, but in
machinery as well Every watch passes through
hundreds OF hands and hundreds sl machines.
Second Because we promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
prodered improvement in the structure Of watches.
Third Because in each of the very numerous,
minute, and often microscopic parts OF whi, h a
watch is made up we attain, by mechanical pow
er, nearly absolute precision and uni
formity, which it is utterly impossible to achieve
ny manual labor Wheels, pinions escapements,
balances springs and screws-exact counte parts
in weight circumference, and dimensions-are
turned outby millions by the unerrng because un-
swerving, iron hands OF machinery. Hence every
watch of any one style 10 true copy OF its model.
these results enable us to d, fy foreign ii
valry because no similar uniformity and precision
is attanable by hand, ami because in wnl ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture Of this intricate and delicate mech
anism.
VI-Now, as will be seen at once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost of production 1t Sc
cures uniformity in results itperpetuutrs and IN
Iai2i5ly difuses ny excellence that may he once
achieved; and makes it easy to repair any mi, r,
sustained, or replace any part that muy be lost or
destroyed.
VII-In addition to these mech ca ~ vantage,
ourwntches are simpler in structure and thereiorr
stronger nd less likely to he injured than the ma
lort Of foreign watches. They are composed OF
rom l:5 to 800 pieces. In OLD English watch
there are more than roo parts
VIlI.-we began our expcr ment in 1853 in the
lace Of formidable prejudice against ,mericuI-
watches. Our system was new and uutried We
have steadily increased our facilities. until now
we employ Over7OO artis 3 and sell 10 O0 atchc,
4 year Nearly aquarter Of million OF our watches
are in use To-day in every State OF the Union as
well as in the Mexican and British Provinces An,
Colonies. Their universal popularity is the bert
proof ol their merit that We can prOdu,r They
have won their way in spite OF every opposite u
ando immemorial preiudices. Hundr, DIS Oi deal
ers all over the country have expressed thei pref.
erenoe forour products alter long and practical
eNperiencew W tn foreign watches.
Any Of the grades OF walthum Watches may be
purchased OF watch dealers generally throughou
the country.
