PR00FS OF The. SUPERIOR QUALITY
u .Ys:-sr-9lEa OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT E-.5
D. WALTHAM, MASS.

! The American Watch Company, of Waliham,
| Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
| are cheaper, more accurate less complex, more
I durable, better adapted for general use, and !
i 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 are composed of from 125 to 800
pieces. while in an old English watch there are
more than 200 parts. How they run under the ),
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the z
following letter.

OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1866.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by Won
have been in use on this railroad tor 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-kceper. 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 have ever had in use
on this road. AS you aware we formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture, of &C.
knowledged good reputation but as class they
never kept time us correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.

decessoi, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years, iH.-.
