THE extensive uso OF these WATCHES for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmcn, the most exacting
or watoh-wearers, has thoroughly dcmonstrat-
ed the strength, steadiness, durability and
accuracy OF tho Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide
the question as to the real value of these time
keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are
: now speaking for themselves in the pockets of
the people-a proof and a guarantee of their
superiority over all others.

renders competiotion futile, and those who
buy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to
80 per cent. more for their watches than is
necessary.
We are now selling waltham Watches at
less prices in greenbacks. than the gold prices
before tho war. There is no other manufac-
ture of any kind in the United States of which
this can be said

time-keeping Among the many improve

The invention and use of a centre-pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the broakage of maiu-springs, is
original with the American Watch Company.

Watches.
