WAT CHES !
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Walham Watcher, and cordially re-
commend them to theircustomers, notwithstand-
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. Tho reason Of this is, that the reputA.
tion Of the Wathsm Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indiyi-
dual watch as he may on the sale Of othor watch
e., he is still the gamer through larger and live
lier sales Tnoro are some, however, among the
trade who DO not give the Waltham Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there is more money

the public are ignorant, aui in which there Is
less competition, and are content to make az
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Walthsm Watches, use that kind Of language
which leads the customer finally tobuy just such
watch asis the most profitable for the dealer
to soil.
orthe information of persons about to buy a
,ho rsrrasort-., .--- tnosc unfrendly to our
watches, we call attention to tho following sug-
gostions.
Since the manufacture Of watches was militia
ted at Waltham, the company have and sold
about 100000 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wearer of a 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 the watch, the
ouyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the best. On this head we have few
Az IS wet Enowu ract 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 in
view, our policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to se'
cure large sales and thus enable us to mauufao-
ture watches at . minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN Small PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI,
NESS. Ins policy we have successfully car
red out, and the result is, that to day we manu-
facture s"oe as many watches as ell the other
factories IA the United States put together.
We can, therefore afford to sell Cheaper than
they do and actually do sell Twenty Ave per
cent. Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity.
We Wotd further remark that in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved Its
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal of nearly all inyen tons intended
to improve time pieces, and have adopted al
those, AM tlose only, which have proved to he
really vausblo We have retained in our EN-,
Floymen every head Of a department We bav,
ever had whose services we're OF any Importance
TO the company, aud our corps Of designers RHt
master Mechanics cannot DO equaled in this O
, any othe' country. In additionto this we max
gold aud silver cA'es, not only for our own move
ments, b.. for those of other factories ours bein
the only establishment that turns out wstche
t complete u every respect.
{ As these watches are for sale by the trade gen
orally Throughout the United States, and at a re
tail profit made most honorable BY comPetitio
the company invariably decline orders of a rets
character.
