WATCHES.
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

United States keep Waltham Watches, and

result Is, that, although the dealer does not
mako as much money on each Individual
watch as he may on the sale OF other
watches, he Is still the gamer through lar

dealer TO sell.

himself that the Naltham Watches are tn +
