The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United

commend them TO theircustomers, notwithstand.
ing the fast that less profit is made IN these
watches than On any others generally sold by the
trade, The reason Of this lie, that the reputa.
tion Of the WsIthsm Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the lealor
docs not make as much money on each iudiyi.

watches, we call attention to the following suv.

Since the manufacture Of watches wa, ipitio.

about 400, 900 watches In every town and
village Of the country some wearer Of , Wal. |
than Watch may be found, Let the party about
to buy ask this owner of IN American Watch |
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts,
FACTION?
We are not afraid 70 ask those wishing to buv
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 tle
WHItham Watches are THE CHEAPEST a,
well as the best. On this head we have few
words to say:
Itis we'll known fact In manufacturing, that
the greater the number Of articles manu- factured
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-
iuots at the lowest possible price in order to se
'ure large Gales, and thus enable US 20 manuEao-

IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUST.
ESS. This policy we have successfully oar
led out, and the result is that to-day We manu-
acture twice as many watches as ell the other
sttorles in the United STATES put together.
We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
hey do, and actually do sell Twenty-Five per
tent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail

We would further remark that In Increasing
