WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers of the United
States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially re.
commend them to their customers, notwithstand.
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputA-
ton Of the Waltham Watch ronders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indiyi-
dual watch as he may on the sale of other watch
es, he is still the gamer through larger and live
| lier sales. There are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the WalthAm Watch that
| hearty support which il deserves. This portion
| portion Of tho trade fancy there is more money
TO be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant and in which there is
less competition, and are content to make IN
occasional sale Of such watches at large profit
1t Is this class Of dealers who, when ask ed about
Waltham Watches, use that kind of language
which leads the customer finally TO- buy just such
a watch as is the most profitable for the dealer
TO sell.
Iorthe information Of persons about to buy a
watch; and who may be unfaVorably affected by
the representation Of those unfriendly to our
watches, we call attention TO the following sug-
Restious:
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia.
ted at WaItham, the company have and sold
about 400, 600 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wearer Of Wal.
than Watch may be found. Lot the party about
to buy ask this owner of an American Watch
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts
FACTION
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be-
ing satisfied as to the quality of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Watham Watches are THE CHEAPEST a.
well as the best. On this head We have a few
words to say:
1t is 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, our policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to SO.
cure large sales, and thus enable us TO manufao-
tore watches at minimum cost. WEBELIEVR
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUsI. |
NESS This policy we have successfully car. |
RED out and the result lie, that to-day we manu-
iaeture twice as many watches as ell the other
factories in the United States put together. |
We can therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than |
they 90 and actually do sell twenty-five per |
cent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail.
