THE EXTENSIVE USE OF THESE
Il Watches by Railway Conductors, EngI-

More than 100000 are speaking for them

a Custom house duty of % per cent, pay
A proft OF at least Is per cent to the Inn

nearly doubling the cost OF the imported

At Waltham, Watches are manufactured
on large scale, under one roof and system
OF supervision and management, thereby,
saving many Of the expenses necessarily In
Cured In small Establishments; hence their
great cheapneSs.
All respectable dealers now sell waltham

invariably demand a certificate OF genuine

Watch Company-R. Z. ROBBINS.
There are different grades or finish in the
