More than 100000 of these watches arc
now speaking for themselves in the pockets Of
the pooplo-a proof And guarantee OF their
superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent
of the Company's Works at Waltham, onablo
them to produce watches at price which
renders competiotion futile, and those who
buy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to
so per cont. more for their watches than is
necessary.
