WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches
Everywhere.

TINE greater part OF the jewellers of the United
l. states keep waltham " atches. and cordially
recommend them to their customers. notw iihstand
ing the fact that less profits made on these watch
cs than any others generally sold by the trade
The reason OF thus is, that the reputation Of the
waltham Watch renders il an easy sale, and the
result L.. 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 livelcr sales. There
are some, however, among the trade, who do not
give the waltham Watch that hearty support
which II deserves. This portion Of the trade tau
cy there Is moro money 10 be made by dealing In
watches about which the public are ignorant, and
IN which there IL less competition, and are con
tent 70 make IN occasional sale Of such watches
AT large profit II Is this class of dealers who,
when asked about Nsliham watches, use that
kind Of language which leads the customer final
IL 10 buy lust such watch a. is the most profit
able for the dealer 10 sell
