SPECIAL NOTICES.
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, notwithstanding
the fact at less profit is made on these watches
tnan on any others generally sold by the trade. The
reason oil this is that the reputation OF the Waham
watcn renders it an easy SALE and the result that,
aithough 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 larger
and lvelier sales. There are some, however among
the trade, who do not give the Waltham Watch that
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 ig-
norant, aud in which there is less competition and
are content to make an occasional sale Of such
watches at large profit 1t is this class Of deal.
ers who, when asked about Waltham Watches, use
that kind of language which leads the customer A.
nally to buy just such watch Is the most profit
able for the dealer to sell.
For the Incarnation Of persons abont to buy .
watch and who may be unfavorably affected by the
representations Of those unffiendly to our watches
we eau attention to the following suggestions:
since sne manufacture of watches was initiated at
Waltham, the Company have made and sold about

country some wearer of waltham Watch may be

HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN You sATIsFAc-
TION? We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy 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 are THE CHEAPEST az well
as the best. On this head We have few words 70
say:
Its 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 alway been to sell our products at the loves,
possible price in order to secure large sales, and
thus enable US to manufacture watches at q mimi
mum cost. We believe In small prehfs and
n large business. This policy we have success
uly carried out, and the result is, that to-day we
manufacture twice many watches sail the other
factories in the United States put together. We
can, therefore, aGsrd to sell cheaper than
they do, and actually do sell Twenty-five
per cent. cheaper than they do, quality for
qualify.
We would further remark that in increasing our pro.
ductions wehaye constantly improved itsQuality and
its variety. We have had the refusal of nearly all in
ventions intended to improve time pieces, and have
adopted all those, and those only which have proved
to be really valuable. We have retained in our en-.
| ployment every head Of department. we have evel
had, whose services were Of any Importance to the
company, and our present corps Of designers and
master mechanics cannot be equaled in this or an!
other country. In addition to this we make gold
and silver cases, not only for our own movements
but for those of other factores being the onl
