wALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive OF these Watches for the last if
teen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers and
Expresmen-the most exscting of watch -wearers-
has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadf-
ness, durability, and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects is
to decide the question to the real value Of these
time-keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo
plea proof and q guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of the
Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders com petition
futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
pay from Is to 50 Per cent. more for their watches
than is necessary.
We are now selling waitham watche, at less
prices in greenbacks than the gold prices before 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 experience has proved Of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every inven
ton in matchmaking originating in this country
in Europe, only those were finally adopted which
severe testing by the most skillful artisans in our
works, and long the part of the public, de-
monstrated to be essential to and enduring
time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would particu
iarize:
The invention and use Of centre pfnion of pec
liar construction, to prevent damage the train by
the breakage Of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who, having had the re-
fusal OF all other contriy ances, adopted fogg's
Patent pinion as being the best and fauitless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now univer.
sally admitted by watchmakers to be the BEST are
used in all grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Waitham Watches have dust proof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dust and lesseninR the
necessity Of the frequent cleaning necessary in other
watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch, 10
already decided success and q great Improvement
on any stem winding watch in the American market,
and By far the cheapest watch Of its quality now
offered to the public. To those living In portions of
the United States where watchmakersd do not abound
watches with the above mentioned improvements
which tend to insure accuracy, cleanliness dura-
bility and convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
