WATCHES!
To Buyer. of Watches Everywhere.

! The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
commend them to their customers, notwithstand
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold blythe
trade. The reason Of this 10, that the reputn.
ton Of the waitham Watch renders II an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not make as MUCH money on each indivi.
dual watch as be may on the Ssls Of other watch
ss, he 10 still the gamer through larger and live
lisr sales There are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the WaIthAm Watch that
hearty support which II deserves. This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there lie more money
10 be made by dealing 10 watches Abou. which
the public are ignorant, and In which there 10
less cOmpetition, and are oOntent TO make an
occasional sale Of spSh watches at alargS profit.
II is this elasI Of dealers who, when asked about
Wshham Watches, use that kind Of language
which leads the customer hnally to buy just such
q watch as lie the most prodta lie for the dealer
to sell.
ortbs information Of persons about to buy
watch; and who may be unfavorahly affected by
the representations Of those unfrisndly to our
wa ohes, we call attention to the following sug-
gestions
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia
ted at WAlthsm, the company have and sold
about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some werner Of Wal
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
TO buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this question;
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU sATIs-
FACTION
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be-
ing satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
ouyer has now only TO satisfy himself that the
Watham Watches are THE CHEAPEST ne
we'll as the best. On this head we have few
words to say:
1t is we'll 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 10 Sc
cure large sales, and thus enable US manufao-
| ture watches at a minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUsI-
NESS. This policy we have successfully car
ried out, aud The result is, that to-day we manu-
faoture twice as many watches as all the other
factories in the United STATES put together.
We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
they do, and actually do sell Twenty-Five per
cent. Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity.
! We would further remark that in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved il,
! QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We hAv,
had the refusal Of nearly all inven tions
to improve tme-pieeos, and have adopted al
those, and those Gully, which have proved to b,
really valuable. We have retained in our em.
| Ployment every head of a department we have
ever had, whose services were OF any Importance
to the company, aud our corps of designers and
master mechanics cannot be equaled In this OF
any other country. In addition to this we make
gold aud silver cases, not only for our own move
meats but for those Of other factories ours being
the only establishment that turns out watcher
complete ia every respect.
As these watches are for sale by the trade gen.
orally throughout the United States, aud at a re-
tail profit made most honorable by competition
the company invariably decline orders Of a retail
character.
