w A T G III r S.


THE extensive use of thcso WATCHES for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, the most exacting
OF watch-wearcrs, has thoroughly demonstrate
ed tho strength, steadinces, durability and
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to docdc
tho question as to the real value Of these time
keepers.
Moro than 100000 of these watches aro
now speaking for themselves in tho pockets Of
the people-a proof and \ guarantee of their
superiority over all others.
Tho superior organization and great extent
OF the Company's Works at Waltham, cnablo
them to produce watches at prico which
renders competiotion futile, and those who
buy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to
5o per cent. moro for their watches than is
necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at
less prices in greenbacks, than tho gold prices
before tho war. There is no other manufac-
ture of any kind in the United States of which
this can be said.
Ihese time-pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had tho refusal of
nearly every invention in watch making origi-
mating in this country or in Europe, only those
wero finally adopted which severe testing, by
the most skillful artisans in our works, and
long use on the part of the public, demonstrate
cd to be essential to correct and enduring
time-kecping. e1-Among the many improve
mcnts we would particularizc:
Tho invention and use Of centre-pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakago OF main springs, ia
original with tho American Watch Company.

trivAnces, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as be

Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watch makers to be
the best, arc used i'll all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and les
sonlng the necessity Of tho frequent cleaning
necessary in other Watches
Our now patent stem. winder, or keyloss
