To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

Tho greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recomm end them to their CUSTOM
ers, notwithstanding the fact that less profit
| Is made on these watches than on any 9TH
ers generally sold by the trade. The reason
of this Is, that the reputation or the Wal
than Watch renders 1t an easy sale, and the
result is, that, although the dealer does not
make as much money on each individual
watch as he may on the sale Of other
watches, he is still the gamer through lar
ger and livelIer sales. There are some, how
Waitham Watch the hearty support which
1t deserves. This portion of the trade fancy
there Is more money 10 be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are 1gno-
rant and in which there 10 less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
class OF dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF lam

such watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons about to
buy watch; and who may be u9tavorably

We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy watch to guide themselves by the

the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are TH i
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have a few words to say:
It is we'll known fact in man ufacturing,
that the greater the number OF articles
smaller will be the cost OF each individual
article. Keeping this in view, dur policy
has always reen TO sell our products at the
lowest possible price IN order to secure large
watches at minimum cost WE Be
LTEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSIH ESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out. and the result is
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
Tf1-ti to sell Cheaper than they do and actually
do SeU I1centy:JfUe per cent Cheaper than they
do quality for quGttty.

have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
