UTALTHAlI WATCHES.

w
The extensive use Of these watches for the
| last fifteen years by Railway Conduc tors, En-
| gineers, and Expressmen the most eXactlng OF
watch wearers, has thoroughly demonstrate!
the strength, steadiness durability and accura-
cy of the Walthsm Watch. To satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide the 4uea
| ton as to the real value of these timo.keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets OF
the people-a proof and q guarantee of their
superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltz am, enable
them to produce watches at a price which reL
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from Is to 81 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 the war. There Is no other manufacture
of any kind in TIE United States OF which this
can be said.
These time. pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of real
practical use. Having had the refusal of near
ly every invention in Matchmaking originating
in this country or in Europe, only those were
finally adopted which severe testing by the
most skillful artisans in our works and long
use Oh tho part of the public, demonstrated to
be essential to correct and enduring tiuo keep
ing.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use Of centre pnion OF
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakage OF main springs, ls
original with the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal Of all other con-
trivsnces, adopted Fcggs Patent pinion as be
ing the best end fautless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universallya admitted bywatchmakerst to the best,
are used in all grades of Wslthsm Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protantiOo the from Iust and pcSeD-
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning, ne
cessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and great i'm
provement 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 al portions of the U.S.where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned Improvements which tend to
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenienes, must prove 11 r .1s H:,,n.,
