WALTHAM WATCHES.

I've claim, and are prepared to prove thg
the American W wstches manufactured atwaltham
Mass. are not only equal, but far superior to the
common watches of England Switzerland, and
France.
II while we admit that Il would be difficult TO
excel the masterpieces Of the eminent European
manufacturers and while we do not claim to have
made any decisive improvements over them, we
do assert and challenge successful denial, that
our superior class of watches are fully equal, IN
ous,y respect, to tla most expensive specimens Of
foreign chronometrical art.
live claim that our Watches are cheaper
more accurate. less complex, more durable bet
ter adapted Tor American use, and more easily
Kept in order and repaired than any other watches
in the market.
IV.-The reasons why our Watches possess these
advantages over their European rivals arechiehy;
Fire.. Because the principle of the division Of
labor is carried out in our workshops 10 les er-
tremest limits not in human INDUSTRY only, but in
machinery as well Every watch passes through
hundreds Of hands and hundreds Of machines
invention to perfect our machinery, and every
proSered improvement IN the structure OF watches.
THIRD Because in each of the very numerous,
! minute and often microscopic parts of which
watch is made up we attain, by mechanical pow
er nearly a5solute mathematical precision and uni.
iormity which it is utterly impossible to achieve
by manual labor. Wheels, pinions, escapements
balances, springs, and screws-exact counte parts
| in weight. circumference, and dimen,ions-art
turned out by millions by the unerring because un-
swerving, iron hands o. machinery Hence every
watch Of any one style is true copy OF its model
| " hesc results enable us to defy foreign ri
vulry, because nosimilar uniformity and precision
is attpiuable by hand, ami because in Wal ham
| alone is machinery exclusively employed in the
manufacture of this intricate and delicate mech
auism
! vI-Now, rs will bo seen NJ once this similarity
in structure reduces the cost OF production it SO
cures uniformity in results; il porpetuatcs aud in
! I1yYiB1y dinuses my excellence that may he onc
achcvcd; and makes it easy to repair any injur!
sustained, or replace anypart that may be lost o
destroyed
! VII-n addition to these mechanical advantages
ourWa are simplerin structure. and Therefore
stronger md less likely to he injured than the ma
iort, of foreign watches. They are composed o
rrom ig5 70 800 pieces In an OLD English watcl
there are more than 100 parts
vGlG-we began our experiment in 1883 in tn
face OF a formidable prejudice against American
watches our system was new aud untried w
have steadily increased our facilities, until nov
we employ Oyer7OO arts ins, and sell ~ 600 watchc
a year Nearly quarter OF q million oil our watcht
are in use to-day in every state Of the Union, q
well as in the Mexican and British Provinces an
Colonies. Their universal popularity is the be-
proof OF their merit that we can produce. The
have won their way in spite oil every opposite
and immemorial prejudices Hundreds OF dea
ers all over the country have expressed thciI pre-
erence forourproducts after u long and practices
experience tn foreign watches.
Any of the grades OF walthum Watches may /
purchased of watch dealers generally throughOl
the country.
