WALTHAM WATCHES,

I've claim, and are prepared to prove N
the American W atches, manufactured atwaltham
Mass, are not only equal but far superior 70 the
common watches Of England Switzerland, and
France.
U--While we admit that It would DO dinlcult to
excel the masterpieces Of the eminco European
manufacturers and while We do not claim to have
made any decisive improvements over them, we
do assert and cnallonge II successful dental that
our superior class Of watches are fully equal, IN
ousry respect, to the most expensive specimens OF

kept in order aud repaired than any other watches
in the market.
lY-rbe reasons why our Watches possess these
dvantuges over their European rivals are chiefly
FJ,si, Because the principle Of the division OF
labor is carried ont in our workshop 10 rs ex.

machinery as well Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds Oi machines.
Second Because we promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
pronercd improvement in the structure oiwatches
TAbd Because in each of tho very numerous
minute and often microscopic parts OF which Il
watch is made up. we attain by mechanical pow
