WALTHAM
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

Tho greater part OF tho 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 Wall
than Watch renders 1t an easy sale, and the
result Is, 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
It deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there Is more money TO be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are tgnO-
rant. End in which there 1s less competition,
aud are content to make an occasional sale
OF such watches at a large profit. 1t is this
class of dealers who, when asked about
guage which leads the customer to buy just
such a watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons about to
buy a watch, aud who may be unfavorably
affected by the represent ations OF those I'M
friendly to our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was in
made made and sold about 400, 900 Watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
weaier Of WaItham Watch may be found:
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
Has YOUR WATCH GIVEN You SAT-
ISFACrION?
We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy a watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality OF
himself that the Waltham Watches are THE;
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have few words TO say:
1t is q well known fact in manufacturing,
that the greater the number OF articles
manufactured by one establishment,, the
article. Keeping this in view, our policy
has always Ceen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sales and thus ena6e Us c 10 a9 Wn B
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out, ana the result is,
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
ted ssates Pr 59gst9s Ben we do SG md s9E
do sell Twenty-Five per cent Cheaper than they
do quality for quality.
We would further remark that in increas-
ing our production we have constantly i'm
proved its QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY.
" g have had the refusal OF nearly all tnven-
nave adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
we have retained in our employment every
head OF department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance to
the Company, and our present corps or de-
sieners and master mecnsnics cA2not pc
addition TO this we make gold ana silver
cases not only for our own movements but
Tor those of other factories, ours being the
only establishment that turns out watches
complete In every respect.
AZ these Watches are for sale BY the trade
eenerallY throughout the United states, and
al q retail profit made: most reasonable by
competiIion. the Company invariably de-
cline orders Of retail character.
