WALTHAM
WATCHES,
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere

The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recomm end them to their customs
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
ever among the trade, who do not give the
WalthRm Watch the hearty support which
1t deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money to be made by dealing
In watches about which the public are igno-
rant, and in which there is less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
OF such watches Mt n large profit. 1t Is this
class of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF Ian
guage which leads the customer to buy just
such watch as Is the most profitable for tho
For the Information OF persons about to
buy a watch, and who may be unfaVOrably
affected by the representations OF those I'M
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was in
itiated ut Waltham, tho Company have
made and sold about 4OO,O watches. In
weRTer OF a Waltham Watch may be found.
Let the party about to buy ask this owner of
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT
ISFACTION?
We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy Il watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality OF
the watch the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches arc TIL E
CHEAPEST as we'll rs the best. On this
head we have a few words to say:
1t Is a 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 ! cen 10 sell our products at the
| lowest possible price in order 10 secure large
sales, and thus enable US to manufacture
| watches at a minimum cost. WE BE-
| LARGE BUSIH ESS. This policy we have
| successfully carried ont. ana the result is.
that Today We manTiactuEe twlc 2; as many 1al1
ted States put together. We can, therefore,
afford 70 sell Cheaper than they do, aud dct"GHy
do sell 1RCGHtY-iUe per cent Cheaper than they
| ito, quality for YItGIitty.

We have retained i'll our employment every
head of department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance To
The Company, and our present corps of de-
Signers and master mechanics caunot be
eQuaIed in this or any other country. In
addition TO this we make gold and silver
Gases, 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 Tor sale by tho trade
generally throughout the United states, and
at IL retail protiL made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders OF IL retail Character.
