VIZ HAM W AT G 81 Z s.

The extensive use Of these WATCHES for the
last fifteen years by railway conductors, eng-
neers, and expressmen, the most exactlng of
watch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, 'steadiness durability, and accuracy, OF
THE WALTHaM WATCH.
To satisfy that class in al these respects Is to
decide the question as to the real value OF these
time keepers.
More than $50, 900 of these WATCHES are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
peoples proof and guarantee Of their superb
| GRITTY over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Companv's Works at Waltham enable them to
| produce watches at a price which renders compe-
| tition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from twenty-five to fifty per cent. more
| for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling WALTHAM WATCHES al
less prices in greenbacks 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
that long experience has proved Of real practi-
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 on the part Of
the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct
and enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
The invention and use Of 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, hay
ing had the refusal Of oil other contrlvances,
adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as being the best
and faultess.
Hardened and tempered hair.springs, now uni
versally 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 lessening
the necessity OF the frequent cleaning necessary
in other watches.
Our new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEY
LESS 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 to the public. To
those living In portions Of the United States where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned improvements, which tendro in
sure accuracy, cleanliness, durability, and con-
yenience, must prove invaluable.
