WALTHAM
w WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part of the jewellers OF the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend 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 1s, 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
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 occasional sale

friendly TO our watches, we call attention TO
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was in
itiated at Walthanl, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
weaIer of a Waltham Watch may be found.
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
an Americafl Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT-
we are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality OF
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are THE
CHEAPEST US well as the best. On this
head we have few words TO say:
1t Is a well known fact in manufacturing,
that tho 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 cen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sales. and thus enable us 10 manufacture
watches at minimum cost WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSIH E3S. This policy we have
successfully carried out, ana the result is,
that Today we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. Ne can, therefore,
afford TO sell Cheaper than th6y do and actually
do sell 11Ucntv.t iUe per cent Cheaper than they

we have retained in our employment every
head OF a department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sianers and master mechanics cannot be
eGnaled 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.
