wALTHAM WATCHES.


The extensive of these Watches for the last f-
teen years by Railway Conductors. Engineers, and
EXpressmen-the most exacting 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
20 decide the question to the real valne of these
time-keepers.
More than 100000 Of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the peo-
plea proof and a guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF the
Company Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce w>nches at price which renders competition
futile, ID those who buy any other watch merely
pay from Is TO 81 per cent. for their watches
than is necessary.
We are selling WsItham Watches at less
prices in greenback than the gold prices before the
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 or
in Europe, only those were finally adopted which
testing by the skillful artisans in our
works, and long use on the part of the public, de-
monstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.
Among the many improvements would particu-
lariZe:
The invention and use of q centre inion OF pee
liar construction to prevent damage to the train by
the breakage Of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who, having had the re-
tusal of all other cOntrivances, adopted Fogg's
Patent pinion as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, unver-
sally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are
used in all grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Naltham Watches have dust proof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dust and lessening the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in other
watches.
Our new patent stem -winder, or keyIess watch,
already decided success and a great i'm provement

biity and convenience, must prove invaluable.
