al wALTHAM WATCHES.


The extensive Of these Watches for the last hf-
teen years by Railway Conductors. Engineers, and
Expressmen-the most exsctng Of watch -wearers-
has thoroughly demonstrated the strength steadi-
ness, durability, and accuracy of the waltham
Watch To satisfy that class in all these respects ia
to decide the question 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 peo-
plea proof and q guarantee Of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of the
COmpany's Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders competition
futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
pay from Is to 50 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
the United States of which this can be said.
These time-p pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
Having had the refusal OF nearly every inyen-
ton 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 use the part of the public, de-
monstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would particu-
larize:
The invention and use Of centre pinion of pecu
liar construction, to prevent damage 10 the train by
the breakage of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who, having had the re-
tusal Of all other cOntrivances, adopted Fogg's
Patent pinion as being the best and faultIess
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now uniyer-
sally admitted by wstchmakers to be the best, are
used in all grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps, pro-
tecttng the movement from dust and lessening the
necessity Of the frequent cleaning necessary other
watches
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch IL
already decided success and a great improyement
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 cf
the United States here watchmake do not abound

which tend 10 insure accuracy, cleanliness dura-
biitty and convenience, must prove invaluable
