70 Buyers OF Watches Everywhere.

Tho greater part Of the jewellers Of the L nitet
States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially 70
| commend them TO heiroustomers, notwith stand
| ing the fact that less profit is made on thes
| watches than on any others generally sold by tn
| trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputn
ton Of the Watham Watch ronde,s it an easy
sale and the result is that, although the deRle
does not make rs much money on each indiyi
dual watch as he may on the sale Of other watch
ss, lie is still the gamer through larger and live
lior sales. There are some, however, among The
trade, who do not give the Watham Watch tina
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there s more money
to be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant and in which there il
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches at large profit
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind Of language
which loads the customer finally tobuy just such
a watch as il, the most profitable for the dealer
to soil.
orthe information Of persons about to buy a
watch; and who may be unfavorably affected by
the representations Of those unfriendly to o"r
watches, we call attention to ~" iohoWing sug

Since the manufacture Of watches was initia'
ted at WaItham, the company have and sold
about 400 900 watches. In evory town and
village Of the country some wearor of Wal.
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
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
Waltham Watches arc THE CHEAPEST a.
well as the best. On this head we have few
words to say:
isaweIl known fact 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 10
view, our policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to Sc
cure large sales and thus eu7bls us to manufao-
! ture watches "a. minimum cost. WEBELTEVR
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE Bust,

RED out, and he result is, that to-day We manu-
| faCture twice IS many watches as oil the other
factories in be United States put together.
We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
they do, and actually do sell Twenty-Five per
cent. Chespe than they do, quality for quail.
