WATCHES
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere

The greater part OF the jewellers OF the
United States Keep Waltham Watches, and
cordially recommend them to their custom
ers, Notwithstanding the fact that less prOnt
liz made on these watches than on any 9TH
ers generally sold by the trade. The reason
OF this is, that the reputation or the Wall
than Watch renders II 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 livelier sales. There are some. how
ever among the trade, who 90 not give me
1t deserves This portion OF the trade fancy
there is more money to be made by dealing
in watches about which the public are ignO-
rant and in which there Is less competition,
and are content to make an occasional sale
of such watches Mt q large profit: II Is this
class of dealers who, when asked about

affected by the representations OF thoso I'M
friendly TO our watches, we call attention to
the following suggestions: ,--
since the manufacture OF watches was In

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
to buy watch to guide themselves by the
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality OF
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are 4 H +
CHEAPEST as we'll as the best. On this
head we have a few words to say:
1t is a 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 Eeen to sell our products at the
sales, and thus enable us TO manufacture
watches at a minimum cost. WE BE-
LIEVE IN SMALL PROFITS AND A
LARGE BUSH ESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out. ana the result Is.
that day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the Uni
ted States put together. We can. therefore,
afford TO sell Cheaper than they do and actually
do sell Twenty-Five per cent Cheaper than they
do qualify for qualify.
We would further remark that inllncreas-
ing our production we have constantly I'M
proved It's QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY.

which nave proved TO be really valuable.
We have retained in our employment every
head of department we have ever had
whose services were OF any importance TO
the Company, and our present corps OF de-
sig nerS anu master mechanics ca1not he
equaIed in this or any other country. In
addition to this we make gold and silver
cases, not only for our own movements, but
for those of other factories, ours being the
only establishment that turns out watches
complete in every respect.
Az these Watches are for sale by the trade
generally throughout the United states, and
at a retail profit made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders OF retail character.
