10 Buyers OF Watches Everywhere

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Wuulam Watches, aud cordially re-
commend them to theircnstomers, uotwithstand.
ing the fact that less profit is made on the 40
watche. than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputn.
! ton Of the Waitdnm Watch renders it an easy
sale, and tho result is that, although the dealer

dual watch as be may on tho sale Of other watch
es, be iS still the gamer through larger and live
ler sales. There are some, however. among tho
! 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, snd in which there IS
less competition. and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches ct a large profit.
II is this class Of dealers who, when asked shout

which leads the customer finally to buy just such

the approximations of those unfriendIy to our

gostons
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia.
ted at Waltham, the company have and sold
about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wearcr Of Wal
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts,
FACTION?
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be-
ing satisfied as to the quality Of tho watch, the
buyer has now My 70 satisfy himself that the |
Waltbam Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the best On this head we have few |
words to say
It ia well known fact In manufacturing, that
the greater the number Of articles manu- iactured |
by ono establishment, the smaller will be the
cost Of each individual article. Keeping this 10
view, our policy has always been to cell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to Sc.
cure large sales, and thus enable US to mnnufao-
tgro watches at minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND a LARGE BUSI-
NESS This policy we have successfully car
riod out, aud the result is, that today wo manu-
acture 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 per
cent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity.
We would further remark that in Increasing
