WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Ev'
eryWhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend them to their Gus
toners, Notwithstanding the fact that less
profit is made on these watches than on
any others generally sod by the trade
Of the Waltham 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 larger aud ivelier sales. There
are some, however, among the trade, who
do not give the Waltham Watch that
portion of the trade fancy there 10 more
money to be made by dealing In watches
about which the public are ignorant, and
in which there Is less competition, and
are content to make an occasional sale
Of such watches ut . large profit. It IL
this class Of dealers who, when asked
about Waltham Watches. use that kind Of

the answer. Being satisfied as to the quail
ity Of the watch, the buyer has now only
to satisfy himself that the Waltham
Watches are THE CHEAPEST as we'll as
the best. On this head we have few
words TO say:
It is well known fact in manufacture
ing. that the greater the number Of ar.
ticles manufactured by one establishment
the smaller will be the cost Of each indi-
vidual article. Keeping this In view, our
policy has always been to sell our pro.
ducts at the X west possible price in order
to secure large sales, and thus enable us
to manufacture watches al q minimum

Cheaper than they do, and actual, 10 sell
Twenty-Five per ceut. Cheaper than they
do, quality for quality.
We would further remark that in in
creasing our product we have constantly
improved it's QUALITY AND ITS VA.
RIETY. We have had the refusal of
nearly all inventions intended to improve
tims-pieces. and have adopted all those,
and those My, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained in our
employment every head of department
we have ever had, whose services were OF
any importance to the Company, and our
present corps OF designers and mastor
mechanics cannot be equaled In this or
any other country. In addition to this
we make gold and silver cases, not oily
for our own movements. but for those Of
other factories, ours being the only estab-
lishment that turns out watches comple'e
in every respect.
As these watches are 70, sale by the
trade generally throughout the United
States, and At aretail profit made mos
reasonable by competition, t.e Company
invariably decline orders Of retail char
