PROOFS OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
wAETEAHH- MASS
WAETHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Walt
ham, 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 other watches IN the mar
ket. They are simpler in structure, and
therefore stronger, and less likely to be In
jured than the majorty of foreign watches,
which are composed of from I25 to 800
pieces, while in an old English watch there
are more than 700 parts. How they run un-
der the hardest trial watches can have, is
shown by the following letter:
PENN. RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT, !
ALTOONA, Pa, 10 Dec, 1866.
Gentlemen: The watches manufactured
by you have been in use on this railroad for
several years by our enginemen, 10 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 satisfa ction in saying your watch
es give us less trouble, and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs 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 acknowl-
edged good reputation but as class they
never kept time correctly, nor have they
done as good service. as yours.
In these statements | am sustained by my
predecessor, Mr.. Lewis. whose experience
extended over series of years.
Respectfully.
EDWARD Ii. WILLIAMS.
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., VaItham
We now make five different grades of
watches, named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy d. Co., Waltham, Mass
Wuitham Watch Company, Waltham, Mass
p. $. Bartlett, Waltham, Mass
VIM. Ellery, Boston, Mass
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass
All of these, with the exception of the
Home Watch Company, are warranted by
the American Watch Company to be of the
best material. on the most approved princi-
pie, and 10 possess every requisite for a re-
liable time-keeper. Every dealer selling
these Watches is provided with the Compa-
ny's printed card OF guarantee, which should
accompany each Watch sold, SO that buyers
may feel sure that they are purchasing the
genuine article. There are numerous coun-
terfeits and limitations of our Watches sold
throughout the country, and we would eau
tion purchasers to be on their guard against
imposition.
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be
purchashed of Watch Dealers throughout the
country.

Presidents Message.

We furnish our readers with the Pres
dent's message in extra sheet. We are
thus enabled to lay it before the most
of our subscribers at the earliest posi-
bic hour. We have not time 10 speak
of the character of the document, but
it is evident At a glance that Andrew
johnson did not pen it. Sut that .Iere-
miah Black, or Atty. Gen. StanberrY,
is the probable author. 1t is as
commonplace, as an ordinary Demo-
cratic stump speech, and is only re-
markable for the bitterness with
which it sssails the reconstruction pol
icy of the Republican party, and its
ardent regard for the Calhoun State
Rights doctrines, as against a strong,
stable, powerful and glorious national
government. The message contains
no thoughts above mediocrity, and is
as far below the comprehensive, lucid
and noble message of Lincoln, as a
dime novel is inferior to n Of Dick

ems best efforts

rs A Washington writer, discours
ing on the financial situation, says that
the question is clearing up; the discus
sion whether the payment of the bonds
shall be in gold or greenbacks has
ceased to be practical. and men are de-
voting themselves to the great desider-
alum of stopping the contraction Of the
currency, reducing taxes and cutting
down expenditures. Everybody repu-
dates reputation. Nobody doubts the
two great facts that we get richerl
ever day, and that in as many more
years as the rebellion lasted we shall
laugh at our present fears. One of the
immediate necessities is more green
backs. This is the cry from the whole
West and South and o the least
curious sign is to see the hard-money
Democrats of these quarters lead in it.
The. discussion will be animated, but
the indications are that the result will
be satisfactory.
