tho last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, tho moot exac acting
Oh watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrat-
ed the strength, steadincss, durability and
accuracy of tho Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide
tho question as TO the real value of these >ime-
keepers.
Moro than 100000 Of these watcheh>arc

Tho superior org anization and great extent
OF tho Companys Works at Waltham, enable
them to produce watches at a prico which
renders compeotion futile, and those who
buy any other watch. merely pay from rs to
SO per cent. moro for their watches than liz

We arc now selling Waltham Watches at
less prices in grecnbacks. than the gold prices
before tho war. There is no other manufac-
turc of any kind in the United States OF which

original with tho American Watch COMPANY,
who, having had tho refusal OF all other con-
trivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as be

Hardened and tempered hair springs. now
universally admitted by watch makers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
