70 Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Wallham Watches, and cordially re-
| commend them 70 their u.tgmors, uotw ,thstand-
ing the fart that esa profit is male on these
watches than on any others generally sold hy the
/ trade. The Icasou Of this is, that tho rsputn.
/ tion Of the Watham Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result Is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indvi-
dual watch rs he may on the sale of other watch
es, be is slll the gamer through larger and I've

trade, who 10 mot give the Waltham Watch that

or the information OF persons about to buy
watch; and who may be uufavorably affected by
the representations Of those unfrreudly to our
wa,ches, we call attention - euo following sug-
| e~-,vna:
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia.
| ted at Wajthsm, the company have and sold
about 400 900 watches In every town and
village Of the country some weqreT of Wal
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an Ameroan Watch
| this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts
PACION2
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 tho
Wa.tbam Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
vel. as the hest. On this head We have few
words to say:
Itis we'll known faot 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 been to sell our pro.
ducts al the lowest possible price 10 order to Sc
cure larEo sales, and thus enqble US to manufac-
tuHe watches 1T minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI.
NESS. Tbs policy we have successfully cur
ried out, sai The result is, that to-day we manu-
facture twee as many watches as oil thO other
factories ID 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.
ewoud further remark that in increasing
our productions Ne have constantly improved !ts
QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of nearly all iDyen tons intended
to improve ime-pieces. and have adopted al
those, and those only, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained in our en-.
ploymeut e,ery head of a department We have
ever had, waose services were of any importance
master mechanics cannot be equaled in this or
any other country. In addition to this we make
gold and yer cases, not only for our own move
ments, 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 gen
orally throughout the United States, and at re-
tail profit made most honorable by competition
the company invariably decline orders Of retail
