WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere

The greater part OF the jewellers OF the
United States keep Walthnm Watches, anC
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 it an easy sale, and the
result is, that, although the dealer does moi
make as much money on each individual
watches, he is still the gamer through lar
ger and iivelter sales. There are some. how
eyer among the trade, who 90 mot give ine
1t deserves. This portion of the trade fancy
there Is more money to be made by dealing
rant and in which there Is less competition
aud are content to make an occasional sale
OF such watches at a large profit. 1t is this
class of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF Ian
RuaRe 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 to
buy watch, and who may be unfavorably
Effected by the representations OF those un'
friendly TO 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 4OO, 900 watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:
Has YoUk WATCH GIVEN You SAT
We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy a watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality OF
the watch, the buyerha now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are TIL +
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have a few words to say:
1t Is a well 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 Teen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
sales, and thus enable us to manufacture
watches at a minimum cost. WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
that to-day we m anufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together, He can, therefore,
AFFORD TO sell Cheaper than they do. and actually
do sell IhUenty.tfU per cent Cheaper than they
do quality TOTt qualify.
We would further remark that 1nIincreas-
ing our production we have constantly i'm
proved It's QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY.
we have had the refusal OF nearly all inven-
lions intended TO improve time-pie ces, and
have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
We have retained in our employment every
head OF department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance to
signers and master mechanics cannot be
eQualed In this or any other country: In
addition to this we make gold and silver
for those of other factories, ours being the
0nIv e6tahlishmeut that turns out watches
cOmplete in every respect.
these Watehes sfG b leT sae tae trade a
al a retail profit made: most reasonable by
competftion, the Company invariably de-
cline orders Of retail character.
