PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market. They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which composed of from 125 to 300
pieces. while in old English watch there are
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:

Gentlemen /: The watches manufactured by you
have been in on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of tn m carried on our
line and we consider them good and reliable
time-keeper Indeed I have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give US less trouble and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. AS you are aware, We formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation !; but as class they
never kept time as correctly nor have they done
as good service, as yours.

decessor, MI. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years,
Respectfully,

A GENERAL MASSACRE
of the fibres of the head, the whiskers, the mus
tarhes, or the beard, can be easily accomplished
by the application of the scorching hair dyes, and
when every hair is
KILLED DEAD,
the parties deceived by these nostrums will re-
greet, too late, that they did not use the wonder
full and entirely poison preparations which,
IN FIVE MINUTES,
produces black or brown which is not surpass-
ed by natures own hue. Be wise in time. The
only safe and sure article is
