To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the Jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, anu
cordially recomm end them to their custom
ers, Notwithstanding the fact that less pront
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 wal
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 tho gainer through lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some. how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
waItham Watch the hearty support which
1t deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money TO BIO made by dealing
in watches about which the public are igno-
rant, and 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 dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF Ian
Ruage which leads the customer TO buy just
such watch as Is the most prOntaDIe 1or INC
dealer to sell.
For tho Information of persons about to
buy watch, and who may be uniavoraDly
friendly TO our witches, we call attention TO
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was In
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village 81 dhe co9n ha ta some
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT
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 tosatisfy
himself that the Waltham Watchesare tn e
as f WelL as me Ses On 'nS
It Is a we'll known fact In manufacturing,
that the greater the number OF articles
smaller will be the cost OF each individual
article. Keeping this in view, our policy
has always cen TO sell our PFoducIs az Inc Inc
sales, and thus enable us to manu- fracture
watches at minimum cost. WE BE
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried ont. ana the result Is.
STstches rs ali the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can. therefore,
AFFORD to sell Cheaper than they do and actually
do sell Z4rcnty:tlve per cet!t Cheaper TIA" they
We would further remark that in increas-
ing our PRODUCTION we have GO, constantly LIN 1m-
w have had the refusal of nearly all inven-
lions intended to improve ume-pit ces. and
Wh.ch have proved 10 be really valuable
We have retained in our employment every
head OF department we have ever hau
whose services were OF any Importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sipnerS and master mechanics cannot be
eUualed in this or any other country. In
addition to this we make gold and silver
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
at retail profit made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders of n retail character.
