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
ers, notwithstanding the fact that less profit
| 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 the gamer through lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some. how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
1t deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money TO be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are igno-
rant, md in which there ls less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
OF such watcues at n large prOfit: 1t is this
class OF dealers who, when asked about
WalthRm Watches, use that Kind of Ian
guage which leads the customer to buy just
such watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons about to
buy watch, and who may be unfavorably
sffec ted by the representations OF those I'M
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was in
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 4OO, 900 watches. In
every toT9 and XaSe 81 the county
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUS WATCH GIVEN YOU BAT
We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being EatIs1ed as to the quality OF
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are THE
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have few words to say:
1t is q we'll 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 reen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price IN order to secure large
IIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSIn ESS. This policy we have
successfully carried ont, and the result ia,
tn at to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches us all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can, therefore,
CTT0T1 10 sell Cheaper than they do and 0ctLduu
do sen 7trenty.fUe per cent Cheaper than they
do quality for qLt0Lttty. ~.
ing our production we have constantly i'm
proved its QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY.
We have had the refusal OF nearly all inven-
have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
we have retained In our employ ment every
head Of q department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sig ners and master mechanics caHnot pc
e6naled 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 q retail profit made: most reasonable by
compettuon, the Company invariably de-
cline orders Of a retail Sha5sSte e., (. -.
