W ALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers Of Watches
Everywhere.

yI,HE greater part Of the jewellers of the United
l. States keep waitham Watches, and cordially
recommend them to their customers, notwithstand-
Ing the fact that less profits made on these watch
es than any others generally sold by The trade.
The reason of tins Is, that the reputation Of the
wal,hsm wsici, renders Il an easy sale, and the
result IL, that although the dealer does not make
ns much money each individual watch as he
NAV on the sale Of other watches, he Is still the
gamer through larger and liyelier sales. There
are some however, among the trade, who do not
give the waltham Watch tina; hearty support
which II deserves. This portion OF the trade fan
CIV there is more money to be made 10y dealing in
watches about which the public arc ignorant, and
IN which there Is less competition, and are con
tent to make an occasional sale Of such watches
nj large profit. II Is this class of dealers who,
when asked about Waltham watches, use that
kind OF language which leads the customer final
IL TO buy just such n watch rs Is the most profit
able for the dealer to sell.
For the information OF persons about 10 buy n
watch. and who may be unfayorably affected by
the representations of those unfricndly to our
watches we call attention TO the following sugges-
tions:
Since the mahufactufV OF N&Cnc- WIS
at walthsn. the Company have made and sold
about Acc, Ooo watches. In every town and village
of the country some wearcr of a Walthnm 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 are no, afraid b. advise those wishing TO buy
a watch to guide themselves by the answer. he.
ing satisfied a. to the quality OF the watch, The
buyer has only Ia satisfy himself tnat the wal
than Watches are THE CHEAPEST rs well as
the best On this head we have few words In
say:
Uisawcll known fact In manufacturing. that
the greater the number of articles manufactured
by one establishment tho smaller viii he the cost
81 each individual article. Keeping this In view,
our policy has always been to sell our products al
the lowest possible price In order 10 secure large
sales, and thus enable ne Ia manufacture watches
PROFITS AND \ LARGE BUSINESS. This
policy we have successfully carried out, and the
result IL, that to-day We manufacture twice a. ma.
nv watches all the other factories In the United
States put together. WE CAN, rHEREFoHE, Az
YoRD To sFLI. CHEAPER THAN THEY DO, AND &C
rUALiy ID SELL TWENTY 1--WE PR CENT CHEAP
ER THAN THEY DO, QUALITY roR QUALITY.
We would further remark that in increasing our
product we have constantly improved It's OF Al
Try AND ITS VARIETY. We have had the ~
fusal Of nearly all inventions intended to improve
,lmc.pieccs, and have adopted all those only
which have proved to be really valuable. We
have retained in our clnplpy mcnt every head Of =
department we have ever had, whose services
were at any Importance 90 the Company, and our
present corp. OF designers and master mechanics
cannot bc cquallcd la thi. or any other country
In addition to this make gold and silver cases
not only for our own movements, hut for those OF
other factories ours being the only cstabls shmen'
that turns out watches complete IN every respect
As these Watt hes are for sale by the trade gen
orally throughout the United States, and 40 re-
tail profit made most reasonable by competition
the Company invariably decline orders of retail
