The extensive use Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-.
gineers, and Expressmen, the most exacting of
watch.wearers has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadiness, durability and sccurs-

class in all these respects is to decide the ques.
ton 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-a proof and a guarantee of their
superiority over al others.
