W7ALTIIAM WATCH ES.
The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
kineers. and E1pressmen, the most ~exscting OF
wstch.wesrers, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadiness, durability and accurs-
cy Of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that
class in all theae respects, is to decide the ques'
ton as to the real value Of these tims.keepers.
More than 100000 Of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets OF
the peoples proof and u guarantee of their
superiority over oil Others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Wslthsm, enable
them to produce watches at q price which ren
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch. merely pay from rs to so per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watch hes al
less prices in greenbscks 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 improve
ment that q long experience has proved of real
practical use. Having had the refusal of near
~ every invention in Matchmaking originating
in this country or in Europe, only those were
anally adopted which severe testing by the
most skilltul artisans in our works, and long
use on the part of The public, demonstrated to
re essential to correct and enduring time.keep-
nG.
Among the many improvements We would
Isrticulsrize:
The invention and use Of q centre pinion OF
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breaksge of main springs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal Of all other con-
trivsnces. adopted Fogg's Patent pinion as be-
ing the best and ~faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs. now
universsllysdmitted bywatchmskerst to the best,
are used in all grades of Wslthsm Watches.
All Wsl.ham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning, ne
cessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyleas watch,
is already q decided success and q great I'M
provemeat on any stem-winding watch la the
American market, and by far the chea!.ast
watch OF its quality now offered to the public.
TO those living in all portions Of the U.S.where
Wstchmakers DO not abound, watches with the
aforementioned improvements which tend 10
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
