WALTHAN
CHES
70 Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
| States keep Waltham Watches, and cordially ro'
commend them to their customers, notwithstsnd
| ing the fact that less profit il made on thest
watches than on any others generally sold by tn,
| trade. The reason Of this L., that the roputa
tton Of the Waltham Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
| does not make AZ much money on each indivi-
dual watch as he may on the sale Of other watch.
O., he is still the gamer through larger and live
! lier sales. There are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the WGlthAm Watch that
hearty support which it deserves. This portion
portion Of tho trade fancy there ia more money
to be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, and in which there is
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches at large profit.
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
Wsltham Watches, use that kind of Ian guage
which leads the customer finally tobuy just such
a watch q Is the most profitable for the dealer
70 sell.
orthe information Of persons about to buy a
watch; and who NAV he ""o"'oraoly Affected BY
| 49, presentations Of those unfriendly to our
wa.oheI, we call attention to the following sus-
| geStions:
Since the manufacture Of watches was initia ,
ted at WslthAm, the company have and sold
about 100000 watches In every town and
village Of the country some wearer Of Wal
than Watch may be found Let the party about
to buy ask this owner Of an American Watch
this questions;
HAS YOUR WATCH GIVEN YOU Salts
FACTION
We are not afraid to ask those wishing to buy
a watch to guide themselves by the owner. Be
ing satisfied as to tho quality Of the watch, the
ouyer has now only to satisfy himself that the
Watham Watches are THE CHEAPEST as
we'll as the best On this head we have few
words to say:
Iti' 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 been to cell our pro-
ducts at the lowest possible price in order to se.
cure large sslc' and thus enable us to manufao-
ture watches q minimum cost WEBELIEVE
IN SMALL PROFITS AND A LARGE BUSI-
NEoe' Ib.' policy we have successfully car
ried out Ant the result is, that to-day we manu-
tactufe tTceas many watches as all the other
lsc'oFie' in The United States put together.
We can therefore, afford to sell Cheaper thsa
they do and actually do sell Twenty-Av per
cent Cheaper than they do, quality for quail
| ity.
/ We would further remark that in increasing
| our productions re have constantly improved Its
QUALITY AND ITS VARIETY. We have
had the refusal Of nearly all inven lions intended
s. improve ,me-pieces, and have adopted all
'Aose, and those only, which have proved to be
really Va.u4ae. We have retained in our em'
FIoyment every head Of department we have
ever had, whose services were OF any Importance
to the company, and our corps of designers and
master mechanics cannot be equaled IN THIS OK
any other country, In addition to this we MAKE
gold aud silver cases, not only for our own move
ments, but tJE those of other factories ours beng
'ne only establishment that turns out watches
complete IN every respect.
As these watches are for sale BY the trade gen
orally Throughout, the United States, aud at re-
tail profit made most honorable BY competition
the company invariably decline orders Of q retail
| character.
