To Buyers OF Watches Everywhere.


The greater part of the jewellers of the United
States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially recon-
mend them to their customers, notwithstanding the
fact that less profit is made these watches than on
any others generally sold by the trade. The reason
Of this is, that the reputation of the Waltham Watch
renders it an easy SALE and the result IS that al
though the dealer does not make as much money on
each individual watch he may the sale Of 9TH
watches, he is still the gamer through larger and
lvelier 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 by
dealing in watches about which the public are isno-
rant and in which there is less competition and are
content to make occasional sale OF such watches
at a large profit 1t is this class Of dealers who,
when asked about Waltham Watches, use the kind
language which leads the customer finally to buy
just such watch as is the most profitable for the
dealer 10 sell.
