WATCHES, JEWELLERY, &c.
w ALTuAM HE'S.

Tie extensive use OF these WATCHES for the
last fifteen years by railway conductors, cnst-
necrs, and cxprcssmcn, the most exac!ing Of
watch-wcarcrs, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, stcadiness, durability, and accuracy, Of
THE WALTHAM WATCH.
To satisfy that class in all these respects Is to
decide the question rs to the real value of these
time-kcepers.
More th,n $4,000 of these WATCHES are now
speaking for themselves In the pockets of the
people, proof and a guarantee of their superb
GRITTY over al Others
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham enable them 10
produce watches at price which renders comDe-
tition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from twenty-five to fifty per cent more
for their witches Than is necessary.
We arc now selling WALTHAM WATCHES at
less prices in greenbacks than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There Is no other manufacture OF
any kind III the United States of which this can be
said.
These time-picccs combine every improvement
that long experience has proved Of real practl-
cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
invention in matchmaking originating In this
country or I'm 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
aud enduring timc-kccping.
Among tie many improvements we would par
ticularlzc:
The invention and use Of a cemtre-plnon OF pc
cullar construction, TO prevent damage to the
train By the brcakagc of main springs, Is original
with the American Watch Company, who, hay
ing had tile refusal of all other contrvanccs,
adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as being the best
and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
versaIly admitted by watchmakers to be the best'
are used In all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessenlnS
the necessity OF the frequent cleaning NECESSARY
In other watches.
Our new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEY
LESS WATCH, is already decided success and
a great improvement 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 where
watchmakcrs do not abound watches with the
aforementioned improvements, which tendto In
sure accuracy, cleanliness, durability, and con-
Yenience, must prove Invaluable.
Every watch G GUARANTEED by the Company.
To prevent imposition, buyers should see that
every watch should bear either of the folio wing
