The extensive use OF these WATCHES for the
last fifteen years by railway conductors, cngf-
ncers, and exprcssmen, the most exacting OF
w~atch-wcarcrs has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, stcadlness, durability, and accuracy, Of
TIE WALTHAM WATCH.
To satisfy that class in all these respects is to
decide the question as to the real value Of these
tiInc-keepers.
More than $50, 900 of these WATCHES are now
| speaking for themselves In the pockets Of the
p~eoplc-a proof and n guarantee of their superb
ority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham enable them to
| produce watches at a price which renders comDe-
titlon futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from twenty-five to Gfty per cent. more
for their watches than IS necessary.
We are now selling WALTHAM WATCHES at
less prices in grecnbacks than the gold prices be-
fore 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

cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
invention 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, demonstrated to be essential to correct
and enduring timc-keepiug.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
The invention and use Of n centre-pInion Of pc
| culiar construction, TO prevent damage TO the
train by the ~breakage Of main springs, Is original
with the American Watch Company, who, hav.
| Ing had the refusal of all other contriyances,
adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as being the best
and ~faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
! yersally admitted by watchmakers TO be the best,
arc used In all grades Of Walthaln Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and %lessening
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary
in other watches.
Our new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEY.
LESS WATCH, is already a decided success and
Il great improvement on any STEM winding watch
I'm the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of its quality now offered to the public. To
