WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Walthan 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 indivldua
watch as he may on the sale OF other
watches, he Is still the gamer through lar
ger and hvelier sales. There are some. how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
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, and in which there is less competition,
and are content TO make an occasionafsale
OF such watches at a large proflt. 1t is this
class OF dealers who, when asked about
Waltham 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 u3tavora6ly
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 400, 900 watches. In

Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:

I9FACTION?
to buy watch to g9tdes Themselves sci by the
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are TH 4
CHEAPEST as we'll as the best. On this
head we have a few words to say:
II Is 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
