WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere,

The greater part OF the jewellers OF the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recomm end them to their custom
ers, notwithstanding the fact that less profit
is made on these watches than on any 9TH
ers generally sold by the trade. The reason
of this Is, that theareputation 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 tndivid ual
watch as he may on the sale of other
watches, he Is still the gamer through lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some, how
over among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the 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 igno-
rant, and in which there Is less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
OF such watches at a large profit: II Is this
class of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind OF lam
guage which leads the customer 70 buy Just
such watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information of persons about to
buy watch, and who may be unfavorably
afiected by the representations of those I'M
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions: ,--
since the manufacture of watches was in
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 4OO, 900 watches. In
weafer OF a Waltham Watch may be found.
Ietthe party about 10 buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCd GIVEN YOU BAT
IsFACrION?
we are not afraid to advise those wishing
TO buy a 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 T +
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
1t Is a we'll known fact In manufacturing,
that the greater the number OF articles
smaller will be the cost OF each individual
article. Keeping this In view, our policy
has always neen to sell our products at the
sales and thus enable us to manufacture
watches at minimum cost: WE Be

successfully carried out. ana the result Is.
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories IN the UNI
afford TO sell Cheaper than they do. and GctuGHy
do sell IhOenty:f iUe per cent Cheaper than they
do quality for quality.
We would further remark that in increas-
proved It's QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY.
We have had the refusal OF nearly all inven-
lions intended to improve time-pieces, and
have adopted all those, and those only,
when nave IN o o ps Teay aaeT1
head of a department we have ever had
whose services were OF any importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
siqners and master mechanics caunot be
eouaIed 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, OUTS being the
only establishment that turns out watches
complete in every respect.
Al these Watches are for sale by the trade
generally throughout the United states, and
at a retail profit made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cine orders of retail character.
