WALTHAN
WATCHES
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the Unite,
States keep Watham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstand
| ing the fact that less profit is made on thea
watches than 90 any others generally sold by tn
trade. Tho reason Of this is, that the reputH
| ton Of the Watham Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result Is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indiyi.
dual watch as he may on the sale Of other watch.
es, he ia still the gamer through larger and live
lier sales. There are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the WalthAm Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
portion of the trade fancy there is more money
30 be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, and in which there Is
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale of such watches at large profit.
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind Of language
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
watch aSis the most profitable for the dealer
to sell.
the Information of persons about to buy
watch and who may be unfavorably affected by
the representations Of those uufriend1y 20 our
wa,ohes, we oalI attention 10 the following sug-
Ees'toHs;
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia
ted at WsIthnm, the company have and sold
about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village of the country some wearer of Wal
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts
FACTION?
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
awatoh to guide themselves by the owner. Be-
Ing satisfied as to the quality of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Wataam Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the best. On this head we have few
words to say.
IL well known fact in manufacturing, that
the greater the number Of articles manu- iaetured
by one establishment, the smaller will be the
cost OK each individual article. Keeping this 10
view, our policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to Sc
cure large GALES, and thus enable us to manufac-
ture watches ats minimum cost. WEBRLIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUsI-
NESS. THIS policy We have successfully car
red out, aud The result is, that to-day we manu-
tacture twioess many watches as ell 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
ity.
We would 'urther remark that in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved It's
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of nearly all inven tions intended
to improve ime-pieces, and have adopted all
those, and tn Sc only, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained in our en-.
Floyment every head OF department we have
ever had whose services we're of any Importance
to the company, and eur corps of designers and
master mechanics cannot be equaIed in this or
any other oolatry. In addition to this we make
gold aud SILVER cases, lot only for cur own move
ments, but o' tbosa Of other factories, being
the only establishment thst turns out watches
complete in every respect.
As these Wachss are for sale by the trade gen
orally through ut toe United States, and st re-
tail proht mada most honorable by competition
the company Invariably decline orders of retail
character.
