To Buyers Of Watches
Everywhere.

vJ,HE greater part OF the Jewellers of the United
i states keep Waltham Watches, and cordially
recommend them to their customers ,notwthstand-
ing the fact that less profit made on these watch
cs than any others generally sold by the trade.
The reason of this Is that the reputation Of the
waltham Watch renders il 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 larger and liyelier sales There
are some, however, among the trade, who do not
give the Waltham Watch that hearty support
which il deserves. This portion of the trade fam
cy there is more money to be made by dealing in
watches about which the public are ignorant, and
in which there Is less competition, and are
tent to make an occasional sale OF such watches
at large profit II is this class OF dealers who
when asked about waltham watches, use that
kind OF language which leads the customer final.
" TO buy just such watch as il the most profit
able for the dealer 10 sell.
For the information OF persons about 10 buy Il

the representations Of those unfriendly 90 our

tions:
Since the manufacture of watches was initiated
at waltham, the Company have made and sold
about 400, 900 watches In every town and village
of the country some wearcr of Waltham Watch
may be found Let the party about to buy ask
this owner Of American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU sATIsFAC-
TION?
We are not afraid 10 advise those wishingto buy

Ing satisfied aS 10 the quality OF the watch, tho

than Watches are THE CHEAPEST ~ well a
the best. ON this head We have few words To
say:
It 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 ~ view,
our policy has always been 10 sell orr products az
the lowest possible price in order 10 secure large
sales and thus enable NJ tn manufacture watches

PROFITS AND \ LARGE BUSINESS. This
policy we have successfully carried OUT and the
result t.. that to-day we manufacture twice rs ma.
