10 Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

| The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
/ States lgep Wauham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstand-
! ing the fact that less profit is made on these
walchc- than ou any others generally sold by tho
| tTUle. Tho reason Of this il, that the reputa-
ton Of The WaItham Watch renders it an easy
! sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
! does not make rs much money on each indivi-
dual watch rs he may on the sale of other watch
es he is 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 il deserves. This portion
| portion Of the trade fancy there is more money
! to he 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 a large profit.

Wsltham Watches, use that kind of language

about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wearer Of a Wal.

We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
watch 10 guide themselves By the owner Be.
ing satisfied as to the quality of the watch, the
0uyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Watham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the best. On this head We have few
words to say;
ltls we'll 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 10 |
view, cur policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts Mt the lowest possible price in order to go
cure large sales, and thus en- able us TO mauufao- |
ture watches at minimum cost WE BELIEVE |
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI- |
NESS. This policy we have successfully car
ried out, and he result is, that to-day We manu-
facture twice as 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 Der
