WALTHAM, MASS.

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 an 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:

OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, PA, Is Dec, 1866.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
have been in on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom We furnish
watches part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of tn m carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
timc-keeper. Indeed, l 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
knowlcdged good reputation but as a class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service, as yours.
In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series ofyears,
Respectfully,

All of these, with the exception of the Home

most approval principle and to possess every
requisite for reliable time-keeper. Every deal

should accompany each watch sold, so that buy
crs may feel sure that they are purchasing the
genuine article. There numerous counter
