To Buyers of Watches Everywhere

Tho crcuter part OF the jewellers OF the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend them to their custom
ers, Notwithstanding the fnct that loss profit
is made on those watches than on any 9TH
ers generally sold by the trade. The reason
OF this is, that the reputation or the Wal
than Watch rendors 1t an easy snlc, and the
result Is, that, although the dealer does not
make as much money on each iuJivid nal
watch as he may on the sale OF ether
watches, he is still the gamer through lar
ger end livelier sales. There are some how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
waltham Watch the hearty support which
II deserves. This portion of the trade fancy
there is more money 10 be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are iguo-
rant and in which there is less competition
and are content to make an occasional sale
of such watcnes ut large profit. 1t Is this
class OF dealers who, when asked about
WalthRn Watches, use that kind of lam
guage which leads the customer to buy just
such n watch as Is the most profitable for the
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons abont to
buy a watch, aud who may be unfavorably
affected by the representations OF those UNI
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
since the manufacture OF watches was in
made made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
weaTer Of WRltham Watch may be found.
Let the party about TO buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT-
ISFACTION"
we airs not afraid to advise those wishing
to buy watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality of
himself that the Waltham Watches are TIL 4
CHEAPEST as we'll as the best. ON this
head we have few words To say: "
II Is well known fact in manufacturing,
that the greater the number of articles
manufactured by ono establishment, The
smaller will be the cost OF each individual
article. Keeping this in view, our policy
has always cen TO sell our products at tho
lowest possible price in order 10 secure large
sales, and thus enable us to manufacture
watches Mt a minimum cost. WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFIrS AND A
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out, ana the result is.
that day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories IN the Uni
afford 10 sell Cheaper than they do and actually
ito sell 1fCenty:JiUe per cent Cheaper than they
do, qualify for QLCItLty.
We would further remark that in increas-
ing ouc production we have constantly i'm
proved its QUALITY AND RS VAKIETY.
W e have had the refusal OF nearly all inyen-
lions intended to improve time-piec es and
have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
We have retained in our employment every
head Of department we have ever had
whose services were OF any Importance to
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sig nerS and master mechanics cannot be
eQualed' III 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 for sale by the trade
generally throughout the United states, and
at a retail profit made: most reasonable by
ompetItton, the Company invariably de-
cline orders OF retail character.
