WALTHAM
WATCHES!
TO Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
states keep Waltham Watches, aud cordially re-
commend them 60 thercustomer,, notwithstand
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally SOFA ~ the
trade. The reason Of this 10. that the fePutA-
ton Of the WalthGm Watch renders It an easy
sale. and tho result il that, although the dealer
does not make a. much money on each lndiW'
dunl watch as BIO may on the sale Of other watch
.. hal. ,tul the gsiusr through larger and live
usr ,,le,. There are some, however, among the
trade, who DO not give the Waltnsm Watch that
| hearty support which II deserves. This portion
! norton Of the trade fancy there s more money
! to be made by dealing 10 watches about which
the public are ignorant, and In which there 10
less competition. and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches a Hlarge profit
1t il this class Of dealers who, when asked shout
WSltham Watches, use that Kind Of language
which leads the customer finally tobuy just such
a watch asis the most pro6Ia 10 for the dealer
to sell.
.orthe information Of persons about to buy a
the representations Of those unfriendly to our
va ohsI, we call attention TO the following sug-
gsstions:
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia
ted at wSltham, the company have aud sold
about 400, 900 watches In every town and
village Of the country some wsareI Of 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 70 ask those Wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be
ing satisfied as 10 the quality Of the watch, the
buyer has now only to satisfy himself that til,
Waltham Watches are THE CHEAPEST n
we'll ~ the beSt. On this head We have fog
words to say:
Itis we'll known fact In manufacturing, tina
the greater the number Of articles manufacture.
by one establishment, the smaller will DO tn
cost Of each individual article Keeping this II
view, our policy has always been to sell our pro
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to 50
cure large sales, and thus en- able US to mauufao
turo watches at minimum cost. DBLIENl
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI
NESS. This policy We have successfully car
ried cut, aud The result is, that to-day we manu-
facture twice as many watches as ell the othe
| factories in the United States put together
| We can, therefore afford to sell Cheaper thar
they do, ard actually do sail Twenty-Five POI
cent. Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity.
We would further remark that in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved It
QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY. We bay
had the refusal Of nearly all inveut igns intende
to improve tim0-pieces, and have adopted 81
those, and those only, which have proved to b
really valuable. We have retained in our cm
Floyment every head Of department we hay,
ever had, whose services were Of any importanc
to tho company, and our corps Of designers au,
master mechanics cannot be equaled in this 0
any other country. In addition to this We max
gold aud silver cases, not only for our own move
mcuts, but for those Of other factories ours bein
the only establishment that turns out wStchC
complete in every respect
! : these watchas ara TO- sala - - - l. ---
orally throughout the United States, aud at q ~
tail profit made most honorable by competition
the company invariably decline orders of retail
| character.
