lf For q few months past we have adver-
tised the above Watches mt EXTREMELY
Low PRICES, and the result has been most
satisfactory. Our plan has been to sell
the genuine WALTHAM WATCH, in Solid
Gold or silver Cases only, at o very small
profit; giving the purchaser every Oppor-
tunity OF examination and comparison,
and with the understanding that if the
Watch does not prove satisfactory, it can
be exchanged or the money refunded.
These Watches are, without exception,
the most perfect specimens of fine mechan-
ism ever produced in any country Each
and every part Is made by machinery Of
the most delicate and elaborate cohstruc-
ton.
Compared with foreign watches, they
possess many advantages, excelling not
only in principle and finish, but still more
in their reliability as stime-keepsrs. AS
an indication of the prices we submit the
following:
