value of these time keepers.
More than 400, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-a proof and guarantee of their superb
OrIty over all Others.
The superior organization and great extent Of
the Company Works at WAltham, enable them
10 produce watches at price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any other
watch, merely pay from 25 to so per cent. more
for their TAtches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in g,reubacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is no other manufacture of apy

said.
