the Companv's Works at Waltham enablc them to
produce watches at price which renders compe-

merely pay from twenty-five to fifty per cent more
for their watches thar is necessary.
We are now selling WALTRAM WATCHES at
less prices in greenbacks than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There Is no other manufacture Of
any kind In the United States Of which this can be
said.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
that long xperience has proved Of real practi-
cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
invention in matchmaking originating in this
country or In Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skilful
artisans in our works. and long use on the part Of
the public demonstrated to be essential TO correct
and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularizc:
The invention and use OF centre-pinion Of pc
cullar construction, 10 preyeRt damage to the
train by the breakage OF main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, hav-

adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as being the best
aud faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
versally admitted by watchmakers TO be the best,
are used In all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Watham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessening
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary
in other watches.
Our new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEY
LESS WATCH is already decided success and
great improvement on any stem winding watch
In the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch OF It's quality offered to the public. To
those living In portions or the United States where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned improvements, which tendao in
sure accuracy, cleanliness, durability, and con-
venience, must prove invaluable.
