WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend them to their custom
ers, Notwithstanding tho fact that less proht
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 Wall
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
over among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham 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 lgno-
rant and in which there ls less competition,
and are content TO- make an oeGaslona a. SAFE
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 ls the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons abOut to

friendly to our watches, we call attention to
Since the manufacture OF watches was In
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
every town and village OF the country some
weafer 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 watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality of
the watch. the buyer has now only to satisfy

head we have few words to say:
1t Is q we'll known fact in manufacturing
that the greater the number OF articles
manufactured by one establish ment, the
smaller will be the cost OF each individual
article. Keeping this In view, our policy

WE'VE WE'VE IN SMALL PRoFiTfs AND a
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out, and the result Is,
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can, therefore,
AFFORD to sell Cheaper than they do. and actually
do sell It0cTlty.TlUe per cent Cheaper than they
do quality for quality.
We would further remark that In lncreas-

W 9 have had the refusal of nearly all inven-
lions intended to improve ume-pieces. and
have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
We have retained In our employment every
head of q department we have ever had
whose services were OF any importance to
the Company, and our present corps of de-
sianers and master mechanics caunot be
equaled in this or any other country; In
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
generally throughout the United states, and
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders OF retail character.
