WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers OF Watches Everywhere

The greater part Of the jewellers of the United
States keep waltham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstanding
the fact that less profit is made on these watches
than on any others generally sold by the trade. The
reason OF this is that the reputation OF the watham
Watch renders 1t an easy SALE and the result Is
although the dealer does not make as much money
on each individual watch a. he may on the sale of
other Watches he is still the gamer through larger
and livelier sales. There some, however, among
the trade, who do not give the waltham Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This port on oi
the trade fancy there is more money to be made by
dealing in watches about which the public are ig-
norant, aud in which there IL less competition and
are content ito make an occasional sale of such
watches at large profit. 1t is this class Of deal
ers who, when asked about Waltham Watches, use
that kind of language which leads the customer a.
nay to buy just such watch as 10 the most profit
able for the dealer to sell.
For the information Of persons abont to buy Q
watch, and who may be unfavorably affected by the
representations Of those unfriendly to our watches
we cau attention to the following suggestions:
Since the manufacture of watches was initiated at
waltham, the Company have made and sold about
100000 watches, In every town and village OF the
country some wearer OF Waltham Watch may be
found. Let the party about to buy ask this owner
OF an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SATISFAC-
TON? We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy watch to guide themselves by the answer
Being satisfied to the quality of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as well
a. the best. On this head we have q few words to
say: III. - t...-., .s..r
Iti q well known fact in manufacturing that the
greater the number of articles manufactured by enc
establishment, the smaller will be the cost of each
individual article. Keeping this in view our policy
has alway been to sell products at the 10 west
possible price in order to secure large sales, and
thus enable US to m manufacture watches at q mini
mum COST We believe in snsall profits and
a large business This policy we have success
fully carried out, and the result is, that to-day we
manufacture twice many watches as all the other
factories in the United States put together. We
cam, therefore, ansrd 80 sell cheaper than
they do, and actually do sell TWENTY-FIVE
per cent. cheaper than ehey do, quality for
qualify.
We would further remark that in Increasing our prs
ductions weh have constantly improved itsuality and
its variety. We have had the refusal OF nearly all in
ventions intended to improve time pieces aud have
adopted all those, and those only, which have proys
to be really valuable. We have retained in our en-
ployment every head Of department. we have evar
had, whose services were OF any Importance IN IN.
company, and our present corps OF designer. ana
master mechanics cannot be eQualed i'm thI. or -
other country. In addition to thl. MA mai. .o,S
and silver cases, not only for our own mov.m.n,.
but for those Of other factories ours being the ouIy
Establishment thatturns out watches complete I'm
every respect.
