on eacn Individual watch as he may on the sale Of
other watches, he is still the gamer through larger
and liveher sales There are some, however. among
the trade, who do not give the waltham Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion of
the trade fancy there is more money to be made bv
dealing in watches about which the public are e

are content to mako an occasional sale o. such

has always been to sell our products at the loves

enable us to manufacture watches at minim um

large business. This policy we have successfully
carried out, and the result is, that to-day manu-
