The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
toners, Notwithstanding the fact that less
profit 10 made on these watches than on
any others generally sold by the trade
The reason Of this ID, that the reputation
of the Waltham Watch renders 1t 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 gair er
through larger and livelier sales. There
are some, however, among the trade, who
do not give the Waltham Watch that
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 ignorant, and
in which there is less competition, and
are content to make an occasional sale
q such watches at large profit. II is
about Waltham Watches, use that Kind of
language which lea DIS the customer fina !

bly, affected by the representations OF
those unfriendly to our watches, we call
attention to the following suggestions:
Since the manufacture OF watches was
initiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village of the country

found. Let tho party about to buy ask

the answer. Being satisfied as to the quail

to satisfy himself that the Waltham
Watches are THE CHEAPEST as well as
the best. On this head we have few
words to say:

policy has always been to sell our pro-

to secure large sales, and thus enable us
to manufacture watches at q minimum

and the result Is, that to-day we manufnc.

We would further remark that in in
creasing our product We have constantly

nearly all inventions intended to improve
time-pieces. and have adopted all those

really valuable. We have retained in oul

present corps OF designers and master
mechanics cannot be equaled in this OF
any other country. In addition to this
We make gold and silver cases, not only
for our own movements, but for those o
