CARD FRO WI THE
AMERICAN VATC4 co MPAJY
OF
WALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public thai
they commenced operations in 1885, and their factory
now covers four of ground, and has cost more
than million dollars and employs over ZOO opera,
tives. They produce 10000 watches a year, and
make and sell not less than one half of all the
watches sold in the United States
The difference between their manu- facture and the
European. is briefly this: European watches are
made almost entirely by hand, and the result is of
necessity lack of that uniformity, which is inds
pensable to correct time keeping Both the eye and
the hand CT the most skllful operative must vary
But it is fact, that except watches Of the higher
grades, European watches are the product of the
cheapest labor of Switzerland and the result is the
worthless Ancres Lepines ana called Patent Lev
erswhich cost more in attempted reps irs than
their original price. Common workmen, boys and
women buy the rough separate parts of these watch
from various factories polish and put them together
and take them to the nearest watch merchant who
stamps and engraves them with any name or brand
that may be ordered.
How American Watches are Made.
The American Waltham watch is made by no such
uncertain process-and by such incompetent work.
men, All the company's operations from the recep-
ton of the raw materials to the completion of the
WatcH are carried on unuer one ROOF and under
sklful and competent direction But the great dis
ngushng feature of their watches is the fact tn at
their several parts are all made by the finest the
most perfect and delicate machinery ever brought to
the aid of human industry. Every one of the more
than hundred parts of every watch is made by
machine-that infallbly reproduLes every succeed.
ing part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make perfect watch of any
particular style and then to adjust the hundred ma
chimes necessary to reproduce every part of that |
watch, and it follows that every succeeding watch
must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches on
their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their mprov ed mechanical processes than can be
made under the old fashioned handicraft system
They manufacture watches of every grade, from a |
good, low priced and substantial article in solid silver
hunting cases. to the finest chronometer; and also |
ladies' watches in plain gold the finest enameled
and jewee cases. but the indispensable requisite of
all their watches is that they shall be GOOD TIME. |
KEEPERS. 1t should be remembered that except
their single lowest grades named ''Home Watch Com
pany, Boston," ALL WATCHES made by them
Are Fully Warranted
by special certificate and this warrantee is good at
all times against the company or its agents.

THE DIAMOND DICKENs-MARTIN CHUzzLH
wIT.-This is the fifth volume ofthe hand
some and popular Diamond Edition of Dick.
ems Works, and in style and appearance it is
an exact copy of the four elegant little vol
umes that peceded it.
MARTIN Chuzzlewit" is of unusual interest
to American readers, as it was written soon
after Dickens visited this country, and con
tains the result of his observations. On it's
first appearance it aroused great indignation
in the United States by the severity of its sat
ire. But when we remember the peculiarities
Of the Missouri bushwhackers and their lead
ing politicians at the time Dickens visited
America, and their outrages all through the
recent rebellion, we may forgive the novelist
for doing what the leading illustrated papers
of the past two years have done in sketching
society in the border and Southern States.
For this is exactly what Dickens has done in
"Martin ChuzzleWit." He never loses an op-
portunity to sketch the frailties of the Eng
fish people quite as severely, and probaly as
truthfully as he did the 'thalfrhorse, haifalli-
gator" men who formerly ruled in the regions
bordering on the Mississippi river.
Aside from the prejudice which once existed
against this novel, and which is evidently
wearing away, it possesses fund of humor,
pathos and entertainment. AS for this edi
ton, its pocket convenience, its clear type, and
exceedingly attractive appearance throughout
have already made it favorite, and most de-
serVedly So

$1.5O; of the plaip,S1.25. Either can be procur-
ed ofthe booksellers, or viii be sent postpaid
