WALTHAN
WATCHE E!
10 Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Waltham Watches, aud cordially re-
commend them to their customers, uotwithstand' o
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold BY the
| tJaie. The reason Of this s, that the reputa.
tian Of the WaI,ham Watch renders it au easy
sale, and tho result Is that, although the dealer
docs not make as much money on each indiyi-
dual watch o., be may on tho sale of other watch
es he still the gamer through larger and live
| lier sales. Thero are some, however, among the
! trade, who DO not give the WatbSm Watch that
! hearty support v wAioA it deserves. This portion
| portion Of tho trade fancy there ,s more money
to be madc by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, and In which there Is
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches at large profit.
It "a this class Of dealers who when askedabout
Watham Watches use that kind Of language
which leads the customer finally tobuy just such
a watch asis the most profitable for the dealer
to sell.
! OF the information of persons about to buy
watch; and who may be unfavorably affected by
the representations Of those unfriendly to our
wa aohes, we oall sttention to the following sug-
geEtions:
Since the manufacture Of watches was initie'
ted at Waltham, the company have and sold
| about 400, 900 watches. In every town and
| village of the country some weqrer 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 slr those wishing to buy
a watch to guido themselves by tho owner. Be
ing satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
| 0uyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
| Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
well as the best. % this bead We have few
words to say
| Itisawell 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 been to sell our pro
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to Sc.
euro large sales. and thus enable us 70 manufac-
| turo watches at minimum cost. WE BELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND LARGE BUsI-
NESS. This policy we have successfully car
ried out, aud the result is, that to-day we manu-
facturc twice as many watches a. oil the other
factories in tho United States put together.
We can, therefore, afford to soil Cheaper than
they do and actually do ssA Twenty-Five per
cent Cheaper than they DO, quality for quail
ity.
We would further remark that in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved its
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of naarly all inventions intended
to improve time-piece. and have adopted all
those, and those only, which hayo proved to be
really valuable We have retained in our em-
pIoymout every head of Il department we have
ever bad, whOse services were OF any Importance
to the com pany, und our corps Of designers and
master mechanics cannot be equaled in this or
any other country. In addition to this we mako
gold and silver cases, not only for our own move
mcnts, but for those of otner factories ours being
tho only establishment that turns out watches
complete IN every respect
As those watches arc tor sale by the trade gen
crplly throughout the United States, and at a re-
,ail profit made most honorable by competition,
the company invariably Iochue orders Of retail
character.
