A M kGKICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES,

1--we claim and uro prepared to provo, tht
the American W atche.,, manufactured stwaitham,
Mass, are not only eq ual but far superior 70 the
common watches Of England, Switzerland, and
France
H-while We admit that II would be dii1cult TO
excel the masterpieces OF the eminent European
manufacturers and while we do not claim to have
made any decisive improvements over them, wo
do assert and challenge successful denial, that
our superior class of watches are fully equal, "a
svsrv respect to the most expensive specimens OF
foreign ohronometrical art
live claim that our Watches are cheaper,
more accurate, less complex, more durable, bet
tor adapted for American use, and more easily
kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market
Iv-Tbo reasons why our watches poSteSs these
advantages over their European rivals are chiefly
Fra Because the principle OF the division Of
labor is carried out 10 our workshops 10 Its ex-
tremest limits not In human industry only, but In
machinery as we'll Every watch passes through
hundreds of hands and hundreds Of machines.
Sscond Because We promptly adopt every new
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
pronered improvement in the structure Of watches
TAGd Because in each of tho very numerous
minute and often microscopic parts Of which
watch is made up we attain, by mechanical pow.
sr nearly a6solute math en- atcal precision and uni
iormity which it is utterly impossible 10 achieve
by manual labor. Wheels, pinions, escapements,
balances, springs, and screws-exact countel parts
in weight, circumference, and dimensions-are
turned out by millions by the unerring because un-
sworvlng, iron hands Of machinery. Hence, every
watch of any one style is true copy Of its model
v hose results enable US TO defy foreign ri
valry, because similar uniformity and precision
i. attainable by hand, and because in Wal ham
alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture Of this intricate and delicate mech.
Snism.
| NL-Now, as viii be seen at once, this similarity
in structure reduces the cost Of production; It 30
cures uniformity in results it perpeluates and a.
Irllibly dinusos my excellence that may he once
achieved and makes 1t easy to repair any injury
sustained, or replace any part that may bo lost or
destroyed.
VlI-m addition TO these mechanical advantages.
ourWatches are simpler in structure and therefore
stronger, md less likely to be injured than the ma
Jority of foreign watches. They are composed of
| from i.5 TO O0pieces. In an old English watch
there are more than 700 parts.
VIII-Wobegun our experiment In ieSs in tho
face Of formidable prejudice against a merican
watches Our system new and untried We
have steadily increased our facilities until now
we employ over 700 arts and sell 10 900 Satches
ayear Nearly aquart0r 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 anu
Colonies. Their universal popularity 10 the best
PROOF OF their merit that we can produce They
have won their way IN spite OF every opposition
ando immemOral proJudces. Hundreds OF deal
ers all over the country have expressed their pref.
erence for our products alter long and practical
e1perIoncew tn foreign watches.
Amy OF tho grades Of walthRm Watches mAy be
purchased of watch dealers generally throughout
tho country.
