VHALTHAM WATCHES.
The extensive use Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
gineers, and Expressmon. the most exscting of
watch. wearers,. has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadiness, durability and accura-
cy Of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide tho quos-
ton as to the real value Of these tmo.keepers
More than $4,000 of these watches arc
now speaking for themselves in the pockets of
the people-s proof and guarantee of their
superiority over all others.
The superio. organization and great extent Of
the Companys Works 1T Walthsnl, enable
them to produce watches At price which reL
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch. merely pay from % to 50 per cont
more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Walthsm Wstc hes at
less prices in groenbscks than tho gold prices
before the war. There Is no other manufacture
Of any kind in TIE United States Of which this
can be said.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of real
practical use. Having had the refusal at near.
~ every invention in matchmaking originating
in this country or in Europe, only those wore
finally adopted which severe testing by the
most skillfui artisans in our works, and long
use on the part OF the public, demonstrated TO
he essential to correct and enduring time keep
Hg.
Among the many improvements We would
particularize
The invention and uso Of contre-pinion Of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage 10
the train by the breakage Of main springs, is
original With the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal OF all other con-
trivances, adopted Fcgg's Patent pinion Ms be-
ing the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universa(lyadmitted by watchmakers TO tho best,
are used in all grades Of Walthsm Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lesson
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning, ne
cesssry in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and a great i'm
American market, and by far the chea!. ast
watch of it's quality now offered 20 the puolc'
To those living in all portions of the U.S.where
watchmskers do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned Improvements which tend to
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
