10 Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
Statos keep Waltbam Watches and cordially re-
commend them to thciroustomers, notwithdand-
ing the fact that lcss profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this ie, that the reputa-
tion Of the Wal,ham Watch renders il an easy
sae, and the resHlt is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indivi-
dual watch as he may on the sale Of other watch
Or, he s still the gamer through larger and live
lier sales. There are some, however, among tho
trade, who do not give the WGlthRm Watch that
hearty support which IL deserves. This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there is 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 al large profit.
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Walthsm Watches, use that kind of language
which leafs the customer finally 10 buy just such
a watch as Is the most profitable for the dealer
70 sell.

! Since the manufacture Of watches was lnitia.
ted at WslthSm, the company have and sold
about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wosror OF Wal

this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU salts,
FACTION?
We are not afraid TO ask those wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves By the owner. Be-
ing satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
WAtham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the beat On this head we have few
words to say
ltis a well known fact In manufacturing that
the greater the number of articles manu- iaotured
by one establishment, the smaller will be the
cost u each individual article. Keeping this in
view, our policy has always been 10 cell our pros
duets at the lowest possible price in order to sc
cure large sales, aud thus enable US to manufso-
tuTe vntches at minimum cost WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI-
NESS This policy we have successfully car
ried out, and the result is, that to-day we manu-
facture twice as many watches as ell the other
factories In the United STATES put together.
We can. therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
they do, and actually do sell Twenty-Five per
cent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity.
We would further remark that IN increasing
our productions We have constantly improved Its
QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of nearly all inventions intended
t. improve time-pieces, and have adopted ell
those, and those only, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained IN our en-
ploymeut every head of department we have
over had, whose services were OF any Importance
to the company, and our corps of designers and
master mechanics cannot be equAled In this or
any other country. In addition to this We make
gold aud silver Gases. not only for our own move.
ments but Tor those Of other factories, ours beng
the only establishment that turns cut watches
complete IN every respect.
As these watches are for sale By the trade gen
orally throughout the United States, and at a fe-
tail profit made most honorable By competition
the CON suy invariably decline orders of retail
character.
