WALTHAN
CHE S
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep WaItham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them TO their customers notwithstand.
ing the fact that less profit is made Of thOss
watches than on any others generally cold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputa.
ton Of the WAltham Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
doeS not make as much money on each indivi-
dual watch as hemay on the sale Of other watch
es he is still the gamer through larger and live
Her sales. There 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
to be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant. aud in which there 10
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such catches at a large profit.
1t is this class Of dealers who, when ask ed about
WAltham Watches, use that kind of language
which leAls the customer finally to buy Just such
watch a4is the most profta lie for the dealer
to cell.
orthe information Of persons about 20 buy
watch; ana who may he wv .v"r'"iy @uvcIed by
o.. .ooentaIions Of those uufriendly TO our
ws,oheS, we call attention to the following sug-
| EoStions:
! Since The manufacture Of watches was lnitia
ted at WE,tham, the company have and sold
sbou, 4O0,O00 watches. In every town and
| vt,ls5o Of the country some weNror Of Wal.
tam Watch may be found. Let the party about
| 90 buy ask thiI owner of an American Watch
this questions
YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU BATS,
! FACTION?
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
watch TO guile Themselves by the owner. Be-
ing satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that tho
"~ttaam Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
vel a. tine best On his head we have few
words to say
Itjs well known TACT in manufacturing, that
III" greater the number If articles manufactured
oE .le Establishment, the smaller will be the
cost q each individual article Keeping this 10
view, our policy has always been 20 sell our pro.
aH''' AZ The lowest possible price in order 70 Sc
cure large sales, and thus enable usto mAnGfsc-
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI.
NESS. lbs policy we have successfully car
Eled ou'. and the result is, that to-day We manu-
tacture '"lce as mRuy watches IS ell the other
iscioF'e' IN the United STATES put together.
We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
they DO and actually do sell Twenty-Five per
cent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity.
We would ;urth5I remark that in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved its
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal 0. nearly all inveu lions Intended
to improve time-pieceS, and have adopted oil
those ami those ouly, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained IN cur EN-.
PIoy meht every head of department we have
ever hsl, Taose services were OF any Importance
20 the company, aud our corps Of designers 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 move
ments' bu' for those of other fsctores ours being
the only establishments that turns out watches
complete ia every respect.
As these watches are for sale by the trade gen
orally Throughout the United States and at re-
tail profit made mo.t honorable BY compet tlou
the company invariably decline orders of retail
character.
