WALTHAM
WAT CHES
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

| The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Watham Watches and cordially re-
| commend them to their customers, notwithstand'
| ing the fact that less profit il male on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade The reason Of this is, that the reputs,
| ton Of the Waltham Watch renders it an easy
sale, aqd the result is that, although the dealer
does not make M much money on each indivi,
dual watch rs he may on the sale of other watch
es, he is still the gamer through larger and live
lier salea. There are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the WalthAm Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion

| the public are ignorant and in which there IS
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 IeNis the customer finally to buy just such
a watch Is is the most profitable for the dealer

We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be-
lug satisfied AS to the quality Of the watch, the
ouyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Na,tham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the best. Ga this head we have few
words to say:
It's well known fact in manufacturing that
| The greater the number of articles maintained

cost Of each Individual article. Keeping this in
