D wALTRAM WATCHES.

The extensive OF these Watches for the last f-
teen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers, and
Expressmen-the most exscting of watch wearers-
has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadi-
ness, durability, and accuracy Of the WsItLam
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects il
TO decide the question to the real value of these
tine-keepers.
More than $4,000 OF these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the peo-
plea proof and a guarantee Of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF the
Company Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders com petition
futile, and those who bur any other watch merely
pay from . to % ssr cent. more for their watches
than ia necessary.
We ar, now selling waltham Watches at less
prices in greenback than the gold prices before the
war. There is no other manufacture of any kind in
the United States Of which this be said.
These time-riece combine every improvement
that long experience has proved Of real practical
use. Having had the refusal Of nearly every inyen-
ton ia matchmaking originating in this country or
IA EuIOpe, only those were finally adopted which
severe testing b. the most skful africans in our
works, ard long use the part of the public, de-
s:rata to Dc essential 10 correct and enduring
tHlo-kee ping.
Among the Rany Improvements we would particu-
larize:
The invention and use Of q centre pinion Of psc
liar construction, to prevent damage 10 the train By
the bTeakage of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Com pany, who, having had the re-
fusal Of all other cuntrivances, adopted Fogg's
Parent pinilu as being the best ard faultless
Hardened and tempered hair springs uniyer-
sally admitted by waite hmakers to be the BEST are
Used in all grades Of walthan Watches.
All altman Watches have dust proof cans prc-
tecting the movement from dust and lessening
necessity Of the frequent cleaning necessary in other
watches.
Our new patent stem -winder, or keyIess watch,
already decided success and a great Improvement
on any stem winding watch in the American market
and by far the cheapest watch Of its quality now
offered TO the public. To those living In portions of
the United States where wstchmakers do not abound

which tend 10 insure accuracy cleanliness, dura-
biiity and convenience must prove invaluable
