WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Ev'
orVWh0ro,

The greater part Of the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend them to their Gus
toners, notwithstanding the fact that less
any others generally sold by the trade
The reason Of this IL, that the reputation
OF the Waltham Watch renders 1t an easy
sale, and the result Is, that, although the
dealer does not make as much money on
each individual watch as he may on the
sale Of other watches, he IL still the gamer
through larger and livelier sales. There
are some, however, among the trade, who
do not give the Waltham Watch that
hearty support which It deserves. This
portion Of the trade fancy there IL more
money to be made by dealing In watches
about which the public are ignorant, and
in which there is less competition, and
are content to make an occasional sale
Of such watches Mt large profit. 1t IL
this class of dealers who, when asked
about Waltham Watches. use that kind Of
language which les. DIS the customer finaJt
ly to buy just such q watch, ~ IL the ms>s-
profitable for The dealer to sell.

those unfriendly to our watches, we call
attention to the following suggestions:
Since the manufacture of watches was
Initiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400 600 watches. In
every town and village of the country
some wearer OF Waltham Watch may be
found. Let the party about to buy ASK
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU
| SATISFACrION:
We are NOT afraid to advise those wish

the answer. Being satisfied as to the quail

TO satisfy himself that the Waltham
| Watches are THE CHEAPEST as we'll as
the best. On this head we have q few
words to say:
| It 10 q well known fact in manufactur.
| ing, that the greater the number of ar
ticles manufactured by one establishment
the smaller win be the cost of each indi-
vidual article. Keeping this In view. our
policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts ut the X west possible price in order
| to secure large sales, ard thus enable us
| to manufacture watches al q minimum
cost. WE BELIEVE IN SMALL PROF
ITS AND A LARGE BUSINESS. This
| policy we have successfully carried out,
and the result is, that to-day we manufac.

Cheaper than they do, and actually aosell
| Twenty-Five per ceuL. Cheaper than they
| do, quality for quality.
We would further remark that IN in
creasing our product we have constantly
improved its QUALITY AND ITS VA
RIETY. We have hail the refusal Of
nearly all inventions intended to improve
time pieces. and have adopted all those
and those My, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained In our
employment every head OF u department
we have ever had, whose services were Of
any Importance to the Company, and oul
present corps OF designers and master
mechanics cannot be equaled In this OF
any other country. In addition TO this
we make gold and silver cases, not OILY
for our own movements, but for those O
other factories. ours being the only estab
lishinent that turns out watches complies
in every respect.
Az these watches are for sale by tn,

States, and ct aretail profit made mos
