WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend 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
make as much money on each individual
watch as he may on the sale of other
watches, he is still the &atner through lar
ever among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
It deserves. This portion of the trade fancy
there is more money TO be made by dealing
in watches about which the pubic are 1gno-
rant, and in which there IS less competti0n.
aud are content to make an occasional sale
of such watches at q large profit. 1t Is this
class of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham watches, use that kind of Lam
9uaqe which leads the customer to buy just
such a watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.

friendly to our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manuEacture OF watches was In

to buy a watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality OF
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have a few words to say:
It Is a we'll known fact in manufacturing,
that the greater the number OF articles
manufactured by ono establishment, the
smaller will be the cost of each Individual
article. Keeping this in view, our policy
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sales, and thus enable us to manufacture
watches at q minimum cost. WE BE-
LARGE BUSIN ESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out. ana the result Is
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories IN the uni
afford 10 sell Cheaper than they do, and actually
do sell I1Uenty.J7Ue per cent Cheaper than they
do qttdLhyJO quality.
ing our production we have constantly i'm
proved its QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY.
We have had the refusal of nearly all inven-
tions intended to improve time-pt- 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 services were OF any Importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
signers and master mechanics cannot be
equaled in this or any other country. In
addition 10 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 a retail character.
