WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the Jewellers OF the
United States Keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recomm end them to their custom
crs, Notwithstanding the fact that less profit
is made on these watches than on any 9TH
eTs 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 the gamer through lar
ger and iiveIIer sales. There are some. how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
II deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money TO be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are 1gno-
rant and in which there is less competition,
and arc content to make an occasional sale
OF such watches at q large profit. 1t Ia this
class of dealers who. when asked anont
guage which leads tho customer to buy just
such watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the information of persons about to
buy a watch, and who may be unfavorably
affected by the representations OF those I'M
friendly to our watches, we call attention 10
the following sugSeStions:
since tho manufacture OF watches was In
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village or the country some
weafcr OF n Waltham Watch may be found.
Let the party about 70 BUY ask TINS owner OF
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT
ISFACrION? .,.,,,-.-
We are not afraid 10 auVlHe LuCse ~ ISL w
TO buy q watch to guide themselves by the
answer Being satisfied as to the quality or
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself hat the Waltham Watches arc III r
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On tnls
head we have n few words TO say:
1t is a 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 in view, our policy
has always teen TO sell our products NJ the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sales. and thus enable us 10 manuiactnre
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out, ana the result Is.
that to-day we manulactnre Twice as many 14l1
tel States put together. Ne can. therefore,,
AFFORD TO sell Cheaper than they do and actually
40 sell Itrcnty:Ttre per cent Cheaper than they
do qualify for Qudtty. =,
ing our production we have constantly I'M
proved It's QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY .
W have had the refusal OF nearly all 1nven,
tions Intended to improve time-pteceS, ana
have adopted all those, and those only,
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 de-
sIsnerS and master mechanics cannot be
eGualed in this or any other country. In
cases, not only for our own movements, but
for those OF other factories, ours being the
only establishment that turns ont 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 retail character.
