WATCHES.
TO Buyers OF Watches Everywhere

Inc greater part of the jewellers OF the United
states keep Waltham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers Notwithstanding
.ne iact tnat less profit is made on these watches
1nah on any others generally sold by the trade he
reason OIL this Is, that the reputation of the Waham
Watch renders It an easy sale, and the result s that
although the dealer does not make as much money
on each individual watch as he NAV ON the sale ~
other watches, he is still the gamer through larger
and livelier sales There are some however. among
the trade, who do not give the waltham Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion of
the trade fancy there is more money to be made by
dealing in watches about which the public are g-
norant, and in which there is less competition, and
are content to make an occasional sale o. such
watches at large profit 1t Is this class of dealers

Since The manufacture Of watches was ;n;,;a.sa
at Waltham, the Company have made and .o,d
about 600 watches In every town and VILLAGE :,
the country some wearer of Waltham Watch NAV
be found Let the party about to buy ask this own
or OF an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAMSFAc-
TION? We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy a watch to guide themselves by the an
swer Being satisfied to the quality of the watch
the buyer has only to satisfy himself that the
Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as well al
the best. On this head have few words to say
tits well known fact in manufacturing, that the
greater the number Of articles manufactured by one
establishment, the smaller will be the cost of each
individual article Keeping this in view, policy
has always been to sell products at the lowest
possible price in order to large sales and thus
enable us to manufacture watches at minim um
cost. We believe i'm small profits and n
large business. This policy we have successfully
carried out, and the result is that to-day we manu-
faeture twice many watches as all the other fac
tories in the United States put together. We can
therefore, afford 10 sell cheaper than they
do, and actually do sell Twenty-Hve per
cent. cheaper than they do, qualify for
qaulity.
We would further remark that in increasing our
production we have constantly improved its Quail
ity and its Variety. We have had the refusal of
nearly all inventions intended to improve time
pieces, and have adopted all those and those onIy
which have proved to be really valuable. We have
ietaineu ia out omptoyuohteN every neau OF depart
ment we have ever had, whose services were of any
Importance to the Company, and our present corps
of designers and master mechanics cannot be equal
ed in this or any other country. In addition to
this make gold and silver cases. not only for our
own movements, but for those of other factories
ours being the only establishment that turns out
watches complete in every respect.
As these Watches are for sale by the trade gener-
ally throughout the United States, and at retail
profit, made most reasonable by competition, the
company invariably decline orders OF retail char
acter.
