TIME greater part OF the jewellers of the Cnjttsl
Il states Keep waltham watches and cordially
recommend them their customers, uotwithstand
ing the fact that less profit s. made these watch
es than any others generally sold by the trade.
The reason of this is, that the reputation of the
waltham Watch renders it an easy sale, and the
result is. that although the dealer does not make
AZ much money on each individual watch rs M
NAV on the sale Of other watches, he Is still the
gamer through larger and liyelier sales There
| are some, however, among the trade, who do not
give the wal,ham Watch that hearty support
which it deserves. This portion of the trade fan

watches about which the public arc ignorant, and
in which there is less competition, and are con
! tent to- make AN occasional sale of such watches
a. lsrge profit. II is this class OF dealers who,
when asked about Waltham watches, use that
kind OF language which leads the customer final.
" 10 buy lust such watch as is the most profit
able for the dealer to sell.
