W ALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches
Everywhere,

yv>uE reafer part Of the jewellers Of the United
i ss,tes keen walfham watches, and cordially
.,,o,,n,.nd them To their customers, notwithstand
In, the act tina, less prott is made on these watch
- tina, aur others generally sold by the trade
The 20, son OF this l., that the reputation OF the
waltham Watch renders IL an easy sale, and the
,ssu,, ia that although the dealer does not make
a. much money on each individual watch "a he
may on the sale of other watches, DC Is sun the
gamer through larger and liyeiier sales. There
are some, however, among the trade, who do not
give the waltham Watch that hearty support
which /, deserves. This portion of the trade nm
cv there is more money to be made by dealing in
watches about which the public are ignorant, and
in which there Is less competition, and are con-
tent 10 make an occasional sale cf such watches
NJ large profit. II is this class of dealers who,
when asked about wsltham watches, use that
kind of language which leads the customer final
~ To buy lust such n watch as the most profit
able for the dealer TO sell.
For the information OF persons about to buy
watch, and who may be unfayorably affected 10y
the representations OF those unfriendly to our
watches We call attention to the following sugges-
tons;
since the manufacture OF watches was initiated
At waltham. the Company have made and sold
about 10000 watches. Ia every town and village
OF the country some wearer Of a Waltham Watch
may be found. Let the party about to buy ask
this owner of an American Watch this question ::
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU sATIsfAC
TIoN?
We Nr,, not afraid to advise those wishing to buy
a watch "a guide themselves by The answer; BE

huvrr has only t. satisfy hiu- ELI that the Wal.
than Watches arc THE CHEAPEST ~ well as
the best ON this head we have a few words 70
say:
ulsaweu known fact in manufacturing that
the greater the number OF articles manufactured
by one establishment, the smaller viii be the cost
OF each individual article. Keeping thi- IN view,
our policy has always been 90 sell oar products at
the lowest possible price IN order Ia secure large
sales ana thus enable rs to manufacture watches
AZ miniaum cost WE BELIEVE IN SMALL
PROFITS AND LARGE BUSINESS. This
policy ~ have successfully carried out, ana the
result t. that to-day we manufacture twice - ma.
