WALTHAM
w A L G III T. S..

|. THE extensive use of these WATCHES for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen the most exacting
or watch-Wearcrs, has thoroughly demonstrat-
CD the strength, steadiness, dura bility and
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide
tho question rs to the real value of these time
keepers.
More than 100000 OF these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets of
the peopic--a proof and guarantee of their
superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent
OF the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
them to produco watches at n prico which
renders competiotion futile, and those who
buy any other watch, merely pay from Is to
50 per cent. moro for their watches than ia
necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at
less prices in grecpbacks. than tho gold prices
before the war. There ia no other manufac-
ture of any kind in the United States OF Which
this can be said.
Ihesc time-peces combine every improve.
ment that long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal of
nearly every invention in wat ch making orisi-
mating in this country or in Europe, only those
we're finally adopted which severe testing, BIZ
the most skillfnl artisans in our works, and
long use on the part Of the public, demonstrat-
cd to be essential to correct aud enduring
time-kecping. 8J- Among the many improve
mcnts we would particularzc:
The invention and use OF centre pinion OF
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakago OF r1ain-sprngs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal Of all other con-
trivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as be-
ing the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs. now
universally admitted by watch-makers to be
tho best, are used in all grades of Waltbnm
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and les
sening the necessity of the frequent cleaning
necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem -windcr, or keyless
watch, is already n decided success, and
great improvement on any stem winding watch
III the American market, and by far the cheap
est watch OF its quality now offered to the
public. TO those living in portions of the
