WALTEEAM
To Buyers OF Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the U nited
States keep WaItbnm Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstand-
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputa-
tion Of the Waltham Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indvi-
dual watch as he may on the sale Of other watch
es, heis still the gamer through larger and live
Her sales, There are some, however among the
trade, who do not give the WAlthAm Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there is more money
L. be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, and in which there is
less competition, aud are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches at a large profit.
1t is this class Of dealers who, when sked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind of Ian guago
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
q watch asis the most profitable for the dealer
to sell.

gestious:
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia.
ted at WaItham, the company have and sold
about 100000 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some weqrcr of Wal
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts
FACTION
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
watch to guide themselves by the owner Be
Ing satisfied as to the quality of the watch, the
ouyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST ss
well as the best. On this head We have few
words to say
! Its well known fact IN manufacturing, that
the greater the number Of articles manu- iaotured
| by one establishment, the smaller viii be the
cost o. each individual article. Keeping this in
view our policy has always been to sell our pro-
duets az the lowest possible price in order to SO
cure 'fso sales, aud thus en1ble US to manufao-
ture watches ats minimum cost. WEBRLIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUsI-
