WALTHAM
WAT CHE S !
TO Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially re-
commend them TO their customers, notWithstand.
ing the fact that less profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputa.
ton of the Waltham Watch renders il an easy
sale, and the result Is that, although the dealer
does rot make as much money on each iudvi-
dual watch as he may on the sale Of othor watch
ss he 10 still the gamer through larger aud live
Her SAIes. There are some, however among the
trade, Who DO not give the WsIthAm Watch that
hearty support which il deserves. This portion
portion II the trade fancy there is more money
to be made by dsulng q watches about which
the public are ignorant and in which there 10
less competition, and are content to mako an
occasional sale Of such watches a. large profit.
It is this cIuss Of dealers who, when asked about
Walthsm Watches, use that Kind Of language
which loads the customer finally tobuy just such
a watch Is is the most profitable for the dealer
to sell
orthe inform tion Of persons about to buy
watch; and who may be unfevorably affected by
ws'ohes, We call attention to the following sug-
gssiiOrs:
Since the manufacture Of watches was lnitia
ted al WAIthSm, she company have and sold
shout 400, 900 watches. In every town and
village Of the country some wesrer Of Wal.
than Watch may be found. Let the party about
to buy hsk this owner Of al American Watch
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 satisfied as to the quality Of the watch, the
Iuyer has now only 10 satisfy himself that the
WAutham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
vel. as the best. On this head we have a few
words to say:
ItisnweiI known fact in manufacturing, that
the greater the number of articles manufactured
BY one establishment, the smaller Will be the
cost If each Individual article Keeping this 10
view yur policy has always been to sell our proc |
dd''s at the lowest possible price in order to 80
ear Ergo sales, and thus enable US to manufao-
ture watches At minimum cost. WE BELIEVB !
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI. !
NESS. This policy we have successfully car
Eied out, and The result is, that to-day we manu-
tacture twice as msny watches as all the other
factories in the United STATES put together.
We can, therefore, afford to sell Cheaper than
they do, and actually do sell T"enty-hve per
cent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
ity
We would further remark thst in increasing
our productions We have constantly improved rs
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of nearly all inventions intended
to improve time pieces, and have adopted all
hose ant those only, which have proved to be
'ealIy valuable. Wa have retained in our en-.
'loymea: every head of department we have
'ver hal, whose services were Of any Importance
o the company, and our corps Of designers and
master mechsu los cannot be equaled in this or !
ny other country. In addition to this we make
told AMI silver cases, not Only for our own move ,
nentt fur fyr those Of other factories, ours being
he only establishment that turn: out wstohes
omPiete IN every respect.
As these watches are for sale by the trade gen.
rally throughout the United States aud al re-
Ill prof. made most honorable BY competition
le company invariably decline orders Of q retail
1aractar.
