SPECIAL NOTICES.
WALTHAM
WATCHES.
TO Buyers of Watches Everywhere

The greater part of the jewellers Of the Omitted
States keep waltham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, Notwithstanding
tne iact that less profit is made on these watches
'ah On any others generally sold by tbe trade. The
Oh this Is, that the reputation of the Waham
.enders 1t an easy SALE and the result is that
aisnousn tne dealer does not make as much money
on eacn Individual watch as he may on the sale OF
other watches, he is still the gamer tbrouob lsrger
and iyeiier sales. There are some. however .mong
the trade, who do not give the than Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This nort,on os
the trade fancy there is more money to be made NV
dealing In watches about which the public are TO-
norant and in which there is less competition. and
are content to make an occasional sale OF such
watches at large profit. 1t Is this class of dealers
who, when asked about the Waltham Watches. use
that kind Of language which leads the customer f.
naly to buy just such watch is the most profit
able for the'dealer to sell.
FOR the Information oil persons about to buy
watch, and who may be unfavorab y affected by the
of those unfrendly to our watches,
we cal attention to the following suggestions:
since the manufacture Of watches was initiated
at Waitham, the Company have made and sold
ABOUT aoo,ooO watches In every town and VILLAGE of
the country some wearer Of waltham Watch NAV
be found. Let the party about to buy ask this own
or OF an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU sATIsrAc-
TION? We are not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy watch to guide themselves by the an
swer. Being satisfied to the quality of the watch
the buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as well as
the best. On this head we have few words to say
tits a well known fact in manufacturing, that the
fha rafo uf.o@
establishment, the smaller will be the cost of each
individual article. Keeping this in view, policy
has always been to sell products at the lowesl
possible price in order to large Sales and thus
enable us to manufacture watches at minimum
cost We believe i'm small profits and n
large business. This policy we have successfully
carried out, and the result is that to-day we manu-
faeture twice many watches as all the other fac
tories in the United States put together. We cam
therefore, afford 10 sell cheaper than they
do, and actually do sell Twenty-Ave per
cent. cheaper than they do, qualify for
qauliiy.
We would further remark that in increasing our
production we have constantly improved Its Quail
ity and its Variety. We have had the refusal Of
nearly all inventions intended to improve time
pieces, and have adopted all those and those only
which have proved to be really valuable. We have
retained in our employment every head of depart
ment we have ever had, whose services were of any
importance to the Company, and our present corps
Of designers and master mechanics cannot be equal
ed In this or any other country. In addition te
this make gold and silver cases, not only for oul
own movements, but for those of other factories
ours being the only establishment that turns oui
watches complete in every respect.
As these Watches are for sale by the trade gener-
ally throughout the United States, and at retail
profit, made most reasonable by competition, the
company invariably decline orders OF retail char
acter.
