WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To BUYERS of Watches Everywhere

The greater part OF the jewellers OF the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommen 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 the reputation or the wal
than Watch renders it an 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 lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some, how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
1t 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: 1t is this

made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
wearer OF Waltham Watch may be found !:

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 TIL r
CHEAPEST as well as the best. ON This
hg1d is va vel Wn Known W fact in Misunderstanding
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 ueen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order to secure large
watches at minimum cost: WE Be
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out. and the result is.
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the uni
ted states put together. Re can. MerstoTe ::

We would further remark that in increas-

We have had the refusal OF nearly all 1nVen:

head of department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sisners and master mechanics cannot be
equaled 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, ours being the
only establishment that turns out watches
complete IN every respect.
AS these Watches are tor sale by the trade
generally throughout the United States, and
at a retail profit made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders of a retail character.
