WALTHAM
WATCHES
""s0hes Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
states keep WaItham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstand-
| ing the fact that less profit il made on these
watohcs than On any others generally sold by the
| trade. Tho reason Of this il, that the reputa-
| tlon Of tho WaItham Watch rpulers It an easy
sale, and tho result is that, although the dealer
| does not make MS much money on each indivi-
dual watch as be may on the sale of other watch
ss be is still the gamer through larger and live
| ler sale4. There are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the Waltham Watch that
| hearty support which 1t deserves. This portion
| portion II the trade fancy there is more money
to be mado by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, and in which thoro is
| less competition, and are content to make an
| occasional sale Of such witches at large profit.
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Wsltham Watches, use that kind Of language
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
watch as "a the most proGtaaIe for the dealer
to sell.

Since the manufacture Of watches was initia

about 400 600 watches. In every town and
village Of tho country some wearer Of Wal

to buy ask this owner of an American Watch

We are not afraid to ask those wishing 10 buy
a watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be-

We,tham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as

words to say:

th, greater the number Of articles manufactured
