The extensive use Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors Ell
gineers, and Expressmen, the most exactlng Oh
watch-wearers. has thoroughly demonstrates
the strength, steadincss, durability and accura-

class in all these respects, is TO decide Inc q"es'
ton as to the real value of these trmn'ReepoFs'
More than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets OF
the people-s proof and a guarantee oil lhe''
superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great extant OF
the Companys Works at Walthsm, enable
them to produce watches at price when rel
ders competition futile and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from 25 to 81 per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Waite hes At
less prices in greenbscks than the gold prices
before the war. Therel Is no other manufacture
of any kind in the United States OF which this
can be said.
Those limo pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved OF real
practical use. Having had the refusal Of near'
ly evory invention in Matchmaking originating
in this country or in Europe, only those were
finally adopted which severe testing by the
most skillfui artisans in OUT works, and long
uso on the part Of tho public demonstrated t"
be essential to correct and enduring timo. keep
ing.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use Of centre plnion Of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage u

trivances. adopted Foggs Patent pinon AS be

Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to the best,
arc used in all grades of Walthsm Watches.
All Wslthum Watches havo dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessen
ing the necessity Of the frequent cleaning ne
cesssry in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and a great I'M
provement on any stem-wnding watch in tho
American market, and by far tho cheapest
watch of its quality now offered to the public
To those living in all portions of the U.S.where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with tho
aforementioned improvements which tend to
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability anil
convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
