To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, ant
cordially recomm end them to their custom
ers, Notwithstanding the fact that less profit
is made on these watches than on any 9th
ers generally sold by tho trade. The reason
OF this is, that tho reputation or the Wal
than Watch renders 1t an easy sale, and the
result ia, that, although the dealer does moi
make as much money on each Individual
watch as he may on tho sale OF Other
watches, he Is still tho gamer through lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some. how.
ever among the trade, who do not give the
It deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money to be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are ignO-
rant, and in which there ls less competition
and are content 10 make an occasional sale
OF such watches at a large proht. 1t IS this
class OF dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF Ian
Huape which leads the customer to buy just
such n watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information of persons about 10
buy n watch. and who may be unfavorably
affected by the representations of those I'M
friendly 10 our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was In
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
yyeaTer OF a Waltham Watch may be found.
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT-
ISFACrION?
We are not afraid to advise those wishing
TO buy watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being Satisfied as to the quality OF
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are n E
CHEAPEST rs we'll as the best. On this
head we have few words TO say:
that the greater the number OF articles
manufactured by one establishment, the
article, Keeping this in view, our policy
has always ueen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sales. and thus enable us to ma4ufactnre
watches Mt q minimum cost. WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the uni
ted 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 q,tGEuyyoT qualify.
ing our production we have constantly i'm
proved its QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY.
We have had the refusal OF nearly all inven-
lions intended to improve time-pi, ces. and
have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved 10 be really valuable.
We have retained in our employment every
head of department we have ever had
whose eervices were OF any Importance to
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
siRnerS and master mechanics cannOt be
eQualed in this or any other country. In
addition TO this we make gold and silver
cases, not only for our own movements, but
for those of other factories, ours being the
only establishment that turns out watches
complete in every respect.
AS these Watches are for sale by the trade
generally throughout the United states, aud
nj a retail profit made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders of n retail character.
