WALTHAM
WATCHES.
To BUYERS of Watches Everywhere

The greater part OF the jewellers of the
United States keep Waltham Watches, and
ers Notwithstanding the fact that less profit
is made on these watches than on any 9TH
ers generally sold by the trade. The reason
OF this is, that the reputation or the wal
than Watch renders 1t an easy sale, and the
result is, that, although the dealer does not
make as much money on each individual
watches, he is still the gamer through lar
ger and iivelier sales. There are some, how
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
II deserves. This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money TO be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are tgno-
rant, and in which there is less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
OF such Watches at q large profit. 1t is this

guRge which leads the customer TO buy just
such watch as Ii the most prOntaDle for the
dealer to sell.

affected by the representations OF those UNI
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions:
Since the manufacture of watches was in
itiated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
every town and village OF the country some
we9rer OF a Waltham Watch may be found.
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
an American Watch this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU SAT-
We are not afraid to advise those wishing
10 buy a watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as 10 the quality OF
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are THE
CHEAPEST as well as the best. On this
head we have few words TO say:
1t Is well known fact in manufacturing,
that the greater the number of articles
manufactured by one establishment, the
smaller will be the cost OF each individual
article. Keeping this In view, our policy
has always reen to sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order TO secure large
sales, and thus enable us to manufacture
watches at O minimum cost WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSIhES5. This policy we have
that to-day we manutacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can. therefore,

the Company, and our present corps OF de-
