WALTHAM
WAT CHES
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them to theircustJmers, notwithstand-
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than On any others generally sold by the
trOie. The reason Of this is, that the reputa-
| tiou Of the Waltham Watch renders It an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not mako as much money on each ndivi.
dual watch as he may on the sale of other watch
es, be is still the gamer through larger and live
lier snlss. There are some, however, among the
trade, who so not give the WaIthAm Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
! portion Of the trade fancy there is more money
to he made by dealing in watches about which
| the public are Ignorant and in which there IS
Ices competition, and are content to make an
occasion al sale Of such watches at a large profit
1t 10 this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, uso that Hind of language
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
watch as Is the most profitable for the dealer
to sell.
oFthe Information Of persons about to buy a
watch; and Who may be IN favorably SGootsa by
,bo --, --svuo"tnons Of those uufrlendiy TO our
wa.ohes, we call attention to the following sug-
gestions:
Since the manufacture OF watches was initia.
ted at WOltham, the company have and sold
about 400,000 watches. Tn every town and
village Of the country some wesrer Of a VOL.
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Wstch
this question:
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts,
FACTION?
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
watch to guide themselves by the owner Be-
ing eatlsfed as to the quality Of the watch, the
ouyer has now only to satisfy himself that the |
WaItham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as |
well as tho best. On this head we have few |
words to say
1t is we'll known fact in manufacturing, that
the greater the number Of articles manufactured
by one establishment, the smaller will be the
'ost Of each individual article. Keeping this n
new, our policy has always been to sell our pros
iuos at the lowest possible price in order to Sc.
ure large sales, and thus enable US to mnnufao-
p |
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUsI-
NR6S. This policy We have successfully car
led out, and the result is, that to-day we manu-
aeture twice as many watches as oil the other
s-tortes in the United States put together.
We can, therefore afford to sell Cheaper than
hey do, and actually do sell twenty-five Der
'ent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ty,
v q would further remark that In increasing
'uF productions we have constantly approved II,
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
lad the refusal of nearly all nveu tions intended
+" improve limo pieces, and have adopted oil
hose, and those only, which have proved to be
ealy valuable We have retained in our en-.
). ynent every head Of department we have
ye' had, whose services were OF any Importance
10 The CON pany and our corps of designers and
Master mechanics cannot be equaled IN this or
ny 3thor country. In addition to this we make
;oli AMI silver cases, not only for our own move.
nent, Jut for those of other factories, being
he only establishments that turns out watches
complete in every respect.
As these watches are for sale by the trade gen.
rally throughout the United States, and at a re-
al profit made most honorable BY competition
he company invariably decline orders of retail
haractor.
