WALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive Of these Watches for the last If
teen years By Railway Conductors Engineers, and
Expressmen-the most exseting 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 IS to the real value Of these
time-keepeTs.
More than 45O, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the peo-
ple-a 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 20 pro-
duee watches at q price which renders competition
futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
pay from 3 to 50 Per cent. for their vatche,
than is necessary.
We are now selling waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbaeks 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 time pieces combine every improvement
that 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 skilful artisans In our
works, and long use on the part Of the public, de-
nOnstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time-keeping.
Among the many improvements We would partieu-
larize:
The invention and use q q centre pinion OF pee
liar construction, TO prevent damage 10 the train By
the breaksge Of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Com pany, who, having had the re-
fus&l OF all other eontriysnces, adopted Foggs
Patent plnion ss being the best and faaltless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now uniyer-
sally admitted By xatehmakers to be the best, are
used in all grades CIV altman Watches.
All WslthAm 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, a
already decided success and q great improvemsnt
on any stem winding watch 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 vatehmAkers do not abound
watches with the above mentioned improvements
which tend 20 insure accuracy, cleanliness, dura-
bility and convenience, must prove Invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed By the Company.
To prevent imposition, buyers should see that
