States keep Wa,ham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them TO their gu DINERS, notwithstand.
ing the fact that loss prof, is made on these
watches than On any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this IT, that the reputa-
ttou Of the Waltham Watch readers it an easy
saIe, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indivi.

the public are ignorant, and in which there IS

to sell.

gestions;
Since the manutaoiuro Of watches was nitia
ted at Waltham, the company have and sold !
about AGO. 900 watches. Ia every town and
village Of the country some weareT Of q Wal.
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU salts,
FACTION?
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
a "a,oh to guide themselves by the owner. BE.
ing satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, tho
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Wa.tham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well o. the best On this head we have few
words to say:
I'is a we'll known fact in manufacturing, that
the creator the number Of articles manu- faOtured
oy one establishment, the smaller will be the
cost each individual article. Keeping this 10
view. our policy has always been to cell our pro.
uu''' at the lowest possible price in order to se
cure large sales, and thus enable US to manufac.
'u'e" "s"les at minimum cost WE BELLEEE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND LARGE BUEI.
NESS. This policy we have successfully car,
reu OUT. and the result is, that to-day we manu-
iacture 3" ce as many watches as all the otber
loe'o'i'' IN the United States put together.
we can therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
they 90 and actually do sell Twenty-Five Der
