The reason of the superiority of the
watches made in this country by
machinery over the foreign watches
made by hand, is self evident. 1t Is
an impossibility that the hand
should be controlled and guided with
the exactness of machine. In Eu-
rope the different parts of a watch
are made by different persons, per-
haps a hundred miles apart. One
whole family, father, mother and
children, all engaged in the process
of making one Of the five wheels of
a watch; another family make anoth-
parts are purchased by the Watch
makers, and the watch is put togeth-
er and made ready for the market.
Perhaps it is sent to this country,
and after being sold, part becomes
broken, and the watch is useless. 1t
can be taken to a Matchmaker and
he can make by hand a new piece,
but the cost of repairing will be great,
and where the parts have passed
through so many different hands in
their construction and repair, it will
be miracal if they are all made
with that accuracy and adjusted to
each other with the nieety that is in
dispensable to the correct running OF
WaUcn.
In contrast to this crude and dis
organized system of manufacturing,
the mind turns with relief to the
method we have adopted in this coun-
try as developed at the factory of the
National Watch Company, at Elgin,
Ill. An immense building Is erected,
a corps of the finest mechanics that
can be obtained is employed. A Su-
perintendent of unrivailed tnven-
tive genius is placed in charge. Ma
chimes are then invented and con-
structed for the manufacture of every
plate, wheel, pinion and screw used
in watch. The different parts OF
the factory are filled up with these
machines. Men and girls are employ
ed to operate them. The wheels, the
pinions and the screws are turned
out by thousands, every part exactly
alike. These are brought together,
under the same roof, made into conn
plete watches, and sent out into the
market. Ifafter purchase, a wheel
breaks, the dealer has but to send to
the factory and purchase Its dupli-
cate, and the watch is as good as new,
Surely this brief comparison Is sufti.
cient to convince any rejecting per
son of the superiority of the Ameri
can mechanical system. 1T is super
ior in theory and fact. The ElgiI
Watches are selling in all parts of the
country, and are recognized by deal
ers and experts as surprising in du.
rability and correct time-keeping
their foreign and other competitors.
