THE extensive use Of these WATCHES for
| the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, the most cxacting
OF wetch-wcarcrs, has thoroughly demonstrate
cd the strength, steadincss, durability and
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide
the question as TO the real value OF these time
keepers.
More than 100000 OF these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets of
the people, proof and guarantee Of their
superiority over ell others.
The superior organization and great extent
of the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
then TO prodace watches ct price which
| renders competition futile, and those who
oUy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to
| 80 per cent. more for their watches than is
| necessary.
! We are now selling Waltham Watches ct
less prices i'll grceItGcks, than the gold prices
bctore the war. There ia no other uarufac.
turc OF any kind III the United States Of which
! this can be said.
| 1hcsc tlme-picces combine every improve
neat that long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal Of
nearly every invention in watch IN akirg origi-
| mating IN this country or in Europe, only those
| were finally adopted which severe testing, by
tie most skil!ful artisans in our works, and
iorS use on the part OF the public, demonstrate
cd to be essential to correct and enduring
tlme-kecpinS. Among the many improve.
mcnts we would particularizc:
Ihc invention and use OF q centre -piuicn Of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakase OF main-sprinSs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
WHO, having had the refusal Of all other con-
trlvances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as be.
| ing the best and faultIees.
Hardened and tempered hair springs now
universally admitted by watch-makerS TO be
the best, are used i'll all grades Of Waltham
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::winder, or keyless
watch, is already q decided success, and
great improvement on any stem winding watch
in the American market, and by far the cheap
est watch of its quality now offered to tho
public. To those living in portions Of the
United States where watch-makers do not
| abound. watches with tho above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy,
prove Invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
To prevent imposition, buyers should SEQ
