OF these watches are now speaking for them
selves in the pockets of the peoples proof
and guarantee of their superiority over all
others.
The superior organization and great extent
of the Companys Works at Waltham, enable
them to produce watches at a price which rem
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from - to - per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.
I'VE are now selling Waltham Watches At less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There il no other manufacture
of any kind in the United States of which this
can be said.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved Of real
practical use. Having had the refusal of near
ly every invention in Matchmaking origiua-
ting in this country or in Europe, only those
were finally adopted which severe testing by
long use on the part Of the public, demonstra-
ted to be essential to correct and enduring
time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use Of a centre-pinion Of
peculiar construction, 10 prevent damage 10
the train by the breakage of main springs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal Of all other con-
triyances, adopted Foggs's Patent pinion
being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs. now
universally admitted by watehInakers 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 lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning ne
cessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder. or keyiess
watch, is already decided success and great
improvement on any stem-winding watch IN
the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of its quality now offered 10 the pubic.
To those living in portions Of the United States
where watchmakers do not abound, watches
with the above mentioned Improvements which
tend to insure accuracy, cleanliness, durabil-
ity and convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
To prevent imposition, buyers should see
that every watch should bear either Of the fol-
lowing trade marks.
