WATCHES.
To Buyers Of Watches
Everywhere.

TIME create, part of the jewellers Of the United
i states keep Waltham Watches, and cordially
recommend them to their customers, notwithstand
ing the fact that less profits made on these watch
cs than any others generally sold 10y the trade
The reason Of tins is, that the reputation of the
waltham Watch renders il IN easy sale, and the
result is, that although the dealer does not make
as much money on each individual watch IA he
NAV on the sale OF other watches, he Is still the
gamer through larger and liyelier sales. There
are some, however, among the trade, who do not
give the Waliham Watch that hearty support
which IL deserves This portion OF the trade fan
CIV 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-
ten; 10 make an occasional sale OF such watches
at a large profit II is this class OF dealers who
when asked about Walthsm watches, use that
kind OF language which leads the customer final
" 70 buy Just such 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 10y
the representations of those unlriendly to our
watches We call attention 10 the following sugges
tons
at waltham, the Company have made and sold
about 900 90 watches. In every town and village
Of the country some wcarer of waliham Watch
may he found Let the party abou; TO buy ask
this owner of an American Watch this question :
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN you sATIsFAC
TION?
We are not afraid Ia advise those wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves by the answer. Re
INK satisfied a. 10 the quality of the watch, the
buyer has only 70 satisfy himself that the wal
the best On this head we have ! few words TO
saw:
Kiss well known fact in manufacturing, that
the greater the number OF articles manufactured
by one establishment the smaller will be the cost
of each individual article. Keeping this In view
our policy has always been 10 -cil our products n
the lowest possible price in order 10 secure large
sales, and thus enable " Ia manufacture Watches
at a minimum cost, WE BELIEVE IN SMALL
PROFITS AND \ LARGE BUSINESS. This
policy we have successfully carried out, and the
result J.. that to-day we manufacture twice as ma
nv watches as all the other factories in the United
states put together. VIZ Can, THEREFORE,, Az
FoRD TO SILL CHEAPER THAN THEY DO, AND &C
TUALLN DO SELL TWENTY FIVE PER CENT CHEAP
EK TIIlS THEY 10, QUALITY FOR QUALITY.
We would further remark that in increasing our
product we have constantly improved It's Quail
Try AND ITS VARIETY We have had the re-
fusal of nearly all inventions Intended To improve
time pieces, and have adopted all those only,
which have proved 10 be really valuable. We
have retained ia our employment every head of =
department we have ever had, whose services
were OF any Importance IL tue Company, and our
present corps OF designers and master mechanics
cannot be CquAlled ia this any other country.
In addition Ia this make gold and silver cases,
not only for our own movements, but for those OF
other factories, being the only establishment
that turns Out watches complete in every respect.
As these Watches are for sale by the trade gen
orally throughout the United states, and at q re-
tail profit made most reasonable by competition,
the Company invariably decline orders Of u retail
character
