WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere

The greater part OF the jewellers OF the
Unit ed States keep Wsltham Watches, and
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 the trade. The reason
OF this Is, that the reputation or the Wal
than Watch renders 1t an easy sale, and the
result is, that, although the dealer does not
mako rs much money on each individual
watch as he may on the sale OF other
watches, he is still the galner through lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some. how
over among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
1t deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
in Watches about which The public are ignos
rant, and in which there 1s less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
OF such watches mt q large profit. 1t Is this
class OF dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF lam
Ruage which leads the customer to buy just
such a watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons about to
buy a watch, and who may be unfavorably
affected by the representations OF those un.
friendly 70 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 100000 watches. In
weafer OF Waltham Watch may be found.
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
h AS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT
ISFACTION?
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 tn +
UHkAPEST rs well as the best. ON this
head we have few words TO say:
1t is 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 in view, our policy
has always cen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sa!e5, and thus enable us to manufacture
watches at minimum cost. WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSIN E5S. This policy we have
successfully carried out, ana the result Is,
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches MS all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can, therefore,
afford 10 sell Cheaper than they do and actually
40 sell ItOentY.4Ue per cent Cheaper than theV
do quality for quality.
We yvOlId further remark that in increas-
ing our production we have constantly i'm
proved its QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY.
we have had the refusal of nearly all inven-
nave adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
We have retained in our employment every
head or a department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance to
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sianers and master mechanics CANNOT be
90uaIed 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, and
at retail profit made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders of retail character.
