WATCHES.
TO Buyers Of Watches
Everywhere.

rJ,IE greater part Of the jewellers of the United
i states keep waitham watches, and cordially
recommend them TO their customers, notwithstsnd
Ing the fact that less proflt made on these watch
cs than any others generally sold by tho trade
The reason of this Is, that the reputation OF the
waltham W atch renders it an easy sale, and The
result Is, that although the dealer does not make
As much money on each individual watch M he
NAV on the sale of other watches, he is still the
gamer through larger and liyelicr sales. There
are some however, among the trade, who do not
give the waltham Watch that hearty support
which il deserves. This portion of the trade fan
cy there is more money to be made by dealing IN
watches about which the public are ignorant, and
In which there Is less competition. and are con-
tent 10 make an occasional sale of such watches
nj n large profit. II Ia this class Of dealers who
when asked about waltham watches, use that
kind Of language which leads the customer final
" 10 buy just such n watch "a is the most profit
able for the dealer to sell.
For the Information Of persons about TO buy
watch, and who may be unfavorably affected by
the representations Of those unfricndly 20 our
watches We call attention to the following sugges
tions:
Since the manufacture OF watches was initiated
at walthsm. the Company have made and sold
about 10000 watches. In every town and village
Of the country some wearer Of n Wnltham Watch
may he found. Lot the party about 10 buy ask

We arc no, afraid TO advise those wishing Ia buy
watch to guide themselves by the answer: De

the best. On this head We have few words TO
say:
Il well known fact In manufacturing, that
the greater the number OF articles manufactured
By one shmcnt the smaller Will he the cost
OF each individual article. Keeping this tn view,
our policy has always been 20 sell our products nj
the lowest possible price IN order to secure large
sales and thus enable us 10 Manufacture watches

policy we have successfully carried out, and the

We would further remark that In increasing our
product we have constantly improved IL QUAIL
Try AND ITS VARIETY. We have had the re-
nsal of nearly all inventions intended to improve
time-piece., and have adopted all those only,
which have proved To be really valuable. We
have retained in our employment every head of n
department We have ever hal, whose services
we're OF sny importance to the Company, and our
present corps of designers and master mechanics
cannot be cquallcd 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 tho only establishment
that turns out watches complete IN every respect
