/ Since the manufacture Of watches was lnjta.
ted at WNlthsm, the company have and sold
! about 100000 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wsater Of = Wal.
tbam Watch may be found Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of AL American Watch
tbs question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU sATIs,
FACTION?
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 tho watch, the
yoycr has now only to satisfy himself that the
"atham Watches are TUE CHEAPEST ss
we'll a the best. On this head we have few
words to say
1t ts a we'll 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 10
view, our policy has always been to sell our pro-
duets at the lowest possible price in order to SO
cure ars sales, and thus enable us TO mnnufac.
tute watches at q minimum cost We BELIEVE |
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI- |
NESS. This policy we have successfully car
riod cut, and be result is, that to-day we manu-
tacture tW as many watches as all the other |
factories IN the United STATES put together. /
We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than |
they do, and actually do sell Twenty-Five Per .
cent. Cheaper than they do quality for quail. |

We would further remark that in Increasing
our productions We have constantly improved its
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of nearly all inventions intended
10 improve time-pieces, and have adopted all
those, and those ouly, which have proved to he
really valuable. We have retained in our EN-.
sloyment every head Of department We have
,yer had, whose services were Of any Importance
20 the company, and our corps of designer and
master mechanics cannot be equaled in this or
Wy other country. In addition to this We mako
gold and silver cases, not only for our own move.
nents but for tboseof other factories, ours being
he only establishment that turns out watches
complete 10 every respect.
As these watches are for sale by the trade gen
rally throughout the United States, aud Of s ru-
Al! profit made most honorable by competition
he company invariably decline orders of a retail
hsracter.
