W. ate :

H extensive use or these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
gineeIs and EzpIessmen-the most exaetiug OF
watch-wearerE-has thoroughly demonstrated
the strel 9Th, steadiness, durability and aecu.
racy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide the ques-
ton as to the real value Of these time-keepers.
More than 400, OOO of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets OF the
peOple-a proof and a guarantee OF their supe.
riOrity over ALI Others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at WalthaIn, enable
them to produce the watches at a price which
renders competition futile, and those who buy
any other watch, merely pay from p TO 50 per
cent more for their watches than is necessary.
We ara now selling Walthsm Watches atIess
prices in g%reenbacks, Than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There is no ether manufacture
of any kind in the United States Of hich this
can be said.

The invention end use of a center pinion of

the train by the hreakage of main-spring5, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who having had the refusal OF all other con-
trivances, adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as be-
ing The best and faultless.
Hardened aud tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of waItham
