WALTEEAM
w At CHE: 5
To Buyers OF Watches Everywhere.

Ine greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep WaItham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, uotwthstand-
ing the fact that less profit is made on 'ae7e
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputH-
tfon of the Waltham Watch renders It an easy /
sale, and tho rcsalt is that, although the dealer
does not mako a much money on each indIYl- !
dual W atoh as he may on the sale of othor watch
es, he is still the gamer through larger and live
lier 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
| to be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, and in which there ls
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale of such watches at large profit
It is this class Of dealers who, when askedabout
Waltham Watches, use thst kind of language
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
a watch a. ia the most profitable for the dealer
to sell.
Tor the information Of persons about to buy
watch; and who may be unfavorably affected by
.,. ,.-usy,,,"tlvus OF those uufrieualy to our
watches, we call attention to the following sug-
gestious:
q Since tho manufacture Of watches was uitia
j ted at Woltham, the company have and sold
about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wearer Of q Wal
1t than Watch may be found. Let the party about
. to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this question:
II HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts
G. FACTION
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
- a watch to guide themselves by the owner, Be-
INK satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
5uyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
30 Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
E. we'll as the best On this head we have II few
id words TO shy
ed Itis a we'll known fact In manufacturing, that
~ the greater the number Of articles manufactured
Al by one establishment, the smaller will be the
e, cost Of each individual article Keeping this in
~ Niew our policy ha. always been to sell our pro-
w; ducts at the Lowest possible price in order TO Sc.
Of cuT- large sales and thus enable us to mauutac-
to tuTo watches alta minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI-
NESS. This policy we have successfully car
ny ried out, aud the result is that day we
tactUTe twice US uaay watches as oil the other
lie fac'ortes ,n tie United States put together.
nd We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
CD they DO and actually do sell twenty-five per
cent Cheaper ,4an they do, quality for quail
