wALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive Of these Watches for the last nf
teen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers, and
Expressmen-the most exacting of watch wearers-
has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadi-
ness, durability, and accuracy Of the waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects is
to decide the question to the real value Of these
time-keepers.
More than l5O, 900 OF these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo
plea proof and q guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF the
Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders competition
futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
than is necessary.
We are now selling waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks than the gold prices before the
war. There is no other manufacture Of any kind in
the United States of which this can be said
These timep pieces combine every improvement
that a long experience has proved Of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every inven
ton in matchmaking originating in this country or
in Europe, only those were finally adopted which
severe testing by the most skillfu artisans in
works, and long use on the part of the public, de-
mOnstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.
Among the many Improvements we would particu-
larize:
The invention and use of . centre pinion Of pee
liar construction, prevent damage the train by
the breakage Of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who, having had the
fusal Of all other contrivances, adopted Togg o
Patent pinion rs being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now univer-
sally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are
used in all grades of W sltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dust and lessening the
necessity Of the frequent cleaning necessary other
watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch,
already decided success and great improvement
on any stem winding wa Oh 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 here matchmaker do not abound
watches with the above mentioned improvements
which tend 10 insure accuracy, cleanliness, dura-
bility and convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
