The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years BY Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expressmen, the most exacting VI watch,
wearers, has Thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy Of the Wal.
than Watch. To satisfy that class 10 all these
respects is to decide the question as to the real
value Of these time keepers.
More than 400, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
people, proof and guarantee Of their superb
ority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable them
to produce watches at a price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any other
watch, merely pay from % to so per cent more
for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling waltbam Watches at less
prices in greeubacks, than the gold prices before
the war There is other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said.
These timepieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practi.
cal use. Having had the refusal oe nearly every

adopted which severe testing by the most skill.

part Of the public, demonstrated to be essential
to correct and enduring time.keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
parlicularize
The invention and use of a centre,pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakAge Of main springs is origi>
nal with the American Watch Company, who,
having bad the refusal Of all other contrivances,
adopted Fogg' Patent pinion as being the best
and faultless.
Hardened aud tempered hair,springs, now uni,
versally admitted by Watchmakers TO be the
best, are used in all grades of Waltaam Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust>proof caps
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen>
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning neces-
sary in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch
is already decided success and a great improve
ment on any winding watch in the Ameri.
can market and by far the cheapest watch of its
quality now offered to the public.
To CALlFORNIANS aud other living in por-
tious of the United States where watch. makers
do not abound, watches with the above mention
ed improvements which tend to insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability aud convenience, must
prove invaluable.
Every watch bearing the trade mark of WAL

timekeeper.
To prevent imposition, buyers should invari-
ably demand a certificate of genuineness.
