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 tho fact that loss 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 gamer through lar
ger and uvelier 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
there is more money TO be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are 1gno-
rant, and in which there Is less competition,
aud are content to make m 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 lam
euage which leads the customer to buy just
such watch as Is the most prohtaole Tor the
dealer TO sell.
buy a watch, and who may be untavorably
affected by the representations OF those un-
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manuIacture OF watches was In
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
every town and village OF the country some
wcafer of n Waltham Watch may be found.
LIE
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT-
IsFACrION?
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 E
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have few words TO say
1t Is q well known fact In manufacturing,
that the greater the number OF articles
manufactured by one establishment, tho
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
TiEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried ont. ana the result Is.
watches as all tho other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can, therefore,
AFFORD TO sell Cheaper than they do. and actually
| ito sell Twenty-Five per cent Cheaper than they
| fO quality for qualify.
We would further remark that IN lncreas-
Ing our PRODUCTION we have Gonstan1Iy In
| We have h1h the refusal of nearly all inven:
lions intended 70 improve time pieces. ana
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
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
Rigners and master mechanics cannot be
| eQualed 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 a retail profit made: most reasonable by
cline orders OF retail character.
