cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-
BILE, and 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 in iured than the majority of foreign watch

while in oldEnglish watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial

GENTLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in on this railroad for several
years by enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, / have great satisfaction
in saying 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 TO those of English manufacture, OF ac-
knowiedged good reputation; but as class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.
In these statements l am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years. Respectfully,
