The greater part Of the jewellers Of tbs Upitsd
states keep Waltham Watches, and oord;,IIv -.

ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold BY the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the rsputa.

FACTION
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be-
ing satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the beat. On this head We have q few
words to Say;
1t is we'll known fact in manufacturing, that
the greater the number Of articles Manufactured
by one establishment, tho smaller will be- the
cost If each individual article Keeping this in
view, our policy has always been to sell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to So
cure large sales, and thus enable us to manufac-
ture watches at q minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUsI-

those, and those only, which have proved to be
really valuable. We have retained in our EN-

master mechanics cannot be equaled In this OF
any other country. In sdditionto this we make

the only establishment that turns out watches

As these watches for sale by the trade gen
orally throughout the United States, and at a re-
tail profit made most honorable by competition,
the company invariably decline orders Of a retail
character.
