WALTHAM
WATCHES,
To Buyers of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part OF the jewellers OF the
United states keep Waltham Watches, and
ers, notwithstanding the fact that less profit
is made on these watches than on any 9TH
ers generally sold by the trade. The reason
OF this is that the reputation or the Wal
than Watch renders 1t an easy sale, and the
result is, that, although the dealer does not
make as much money on each individual
watch as he may on the sale OF other
watches, he Is still the gamer through lar
ger and livelier sales. There are some, how
ever among the trade, who do not give the
Waltham Watch the hearty support which
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 at a large profit. 1t is this
class of dealers who, when asked about
Waltham Watches, use that kind of lam
guage which lends the customer to buy just
such watch as ls the most profitable for The
dealer to sell.
For the Information OF persons about to
buy watch, and who may be unfavorably
affected by the representations of those un-
friendly to our watches, we call attention 10
the following SUGGESTIONS:
since the manufacture OF watches was in
iuated at Waltham, the Company have
made and sold about 400, 900 watches. In
weafer of n Walthan Watch may be found.
Let the party about to buy ask this owner OF
al HAS 1lssE YOUR WATCH GIVEN You SAT-
USFACTION2
We are not afraid TO advise those wishing
answer. Being satisfied as to the quality of
the watch, the buyer has now only to satisfy
himself that the Waltham Watches are THE
CHEAPEST as we'll as the best. On this
head we have few words to say:
1t is 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
mas always ueen TO sell our products at the
lowest possible price in order TO secure large
sales and thus enable us to manufacture
watches at a minimum cost WE Be
LARGE BUSINESS. This policy we have
successfully carried out. ana the result Is,
that to-day we manufacture twice as many
watches as all the other factories in the UNI
afford TO sell Cheaper than they do, and actually
do sell I1Ccnty.J1ve per cent Cheaper than they
ClO quality JOJ,i qualify.
We would further remark that intincreaS-
ing our production we have constantly inn
proved its QUALITY AND IT'S VARIETY.
we have had the refusal OF nearly all inven-
lions intended to improve tIme-pieceS, and
have adopted all those, and those only,
which have proved to be really valuable.
We have retained in our employment every
whose services were OF any Importance TO
the Company, and our present corps or de-
SlgneTS and master mechanics caunot be
equaled In this or any other country: In
cases, not only for our own movements, but
LOT tnO6e o! Other factories, ours being the
only establishment that turns out watches
complete in every respect
AS these Watches are tor sale nv the trade
generally throughout the United States and
at a retail proht made: most reasonable by
competition, the Company invariably de-
cline orders of retail character.
