ACARD FROM THE
Watch Company
OF
wALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives They produce $4,000 Wat
cbes year, and make and sell not less than one
half of all the watches sold in the United States
The difference between their manufacture 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
indispensable to correct time keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, nd
the result is the worthless Ancrcs, Lepines and
so-caIled Patent Levers-which soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
NAV be ordered.

HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE

The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmen. All the company's operations
from the reception of the materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under
one roof, and under skillfui and competent
direction. But the great disting gushing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
arts 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
a hundred parts of every watch is made by
chine-that infallibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy 1t was
only necessary TO make one perfect watch of one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary TO reproduce every part of
that watch, and il follows that every succeeding
part must be like 1t.
The company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
tenn They manufacture watches of every grade,
from a good low priced, and substantial article
in selid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enaneed and jeweied cases; but the in
dispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
grade named Home Watch Company, Boston,"
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by q speciaieertikcate, and this warrantee Is good
at all times against the company or its agents.
