thoronohIy demonstrated the strength, steadlness, gu
rrb;,;tv and accuracy of the Waltham Watch To sat
sfv that class in all these respects, is to decide tn
ouestion as to the real value of these time-keepers
More than 100000 of these watches are nov
speakng for themselves in the pockets OF the peop
"a proof and guarantee Of their superiority oVe
all others.
The superior organization and great extent Oh 'ns
Company's Works at Waltham, enable them 70 pro
duce watches at price which renders compe'l''on
futile, and those who buy any other watch mercy pay
from 25 to 50 per cent for their watches han is
necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
nr;ces in ereenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is no other manufacture oi any KIM

These time.pieces combine every improvement that
long experience has proved of real practical use.
Having had the refusal of nearly every invention IN
Matchmaking originating in this country or IN Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe testing

use on the part ofthe public demonstrated TO be essen
tisl to correct and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would particn-
larize

breakape of main springs is original with the Ameri
can Watch Company, who, having had the refusai Oh
all other contrivances adopted Patent pinon as
being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now unlver-
sally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best are
used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, pro-
tectng the movement from dust and lessenng the nee
essity of the frequent cleaning necessary in other
watches.

BY far the cheapest watch of its quality now offered to

insure accuracy cleanliness, durability and conven-
fence, must prove invaluable.
