Walthanl Watches.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere


The greater part OF the jewellers Of the
United States keep Waltham Watches,
ana cordially recommend them 70 Aheir
customers, Notwithstanding the fact that
less pront is made on these watches than
on any others generally sold by the trade.
The reason of this is, that the reputation
of the WaItham Watch renders 10 IN easy
sale, and the result is, that. although the
dealer does not make as much money on
each individual watch as he may on. the
sale of other watches, he is still the gamer
through larger and livelier 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 rs more
money to be made by dealing In watches
ABOUT which the public are ignorant, and
In which there Il less competition, and
are content to make an occasional sale Of
sueh watches at a large profit. IL is this
class OF dealers who, when asked about
| WaItham Watches, use that kind OF LAM
guage which leads the customer finally TO
buy just such watch as IL the most profit
able for the dealer 10 sell.
