WATCHES.

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 accura-
cy of the Waltham Watch. TO satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide the ques'
ton rs TO The real value Of these tme-keepers.
More thsn 100000 of these watches are
H asp e spsi over all others. ESQ
The supero. organization and great eXtent OF
the Companys Works at Waltham, enable
| them ID produce watches at price which roH
| dars con, petition futile and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from % to 50 per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Wstc hes at
less prices in greenbacks than the gold prices
before the war. THERE'S no other manufacture
of any kind in ito 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 of near
ly every Invention in Matchmaking originating
in this country or in Europe, only those were
finally adopted which severe testing by the
most skillful artisans in our works, and long
use on the part of the public, demonstrated to
be essential to correct and enduring time Keep
ing.
Among the many improvements we would
partcuarize:
The invention and use OF & centre. pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by thn breakage of main springs, is
origiual with thu American Watch Company,
who having had the refusal Of all other con.
ing tho best and iaultess.
Hardened snd tempered hair springs, now
UNIVERSAL yadmittod by wstchmakers to the best,
are used in ali grades of Walthsm Watches.
All Whitman Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessen
ing The necessity Of the frequent cleaning, ne
cessary in other watches.

provemeHt on any Gten-windiug watch ia .he

convenience, must prove invaluable.
