NIALTHAM WATCHES.

"
The extensive use Of these watches for tho
last t(toon years by Railway Conductors En-
gincers, and Expressmen, the most eXsctlng OF
watch wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadiness, durability and accura-
cy Of the Wa?lham Watch. To satisfy that
class in al these respects, Is to decide the ques
ton rs to the real value Of these timo keepers
Moro than 100000 Of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets Of
the pooplc--a proof and y guarantee Of their
superiority over all others.
The supero: organization and great extent of
the Compsny's Works at Waltham enable
them to produce watches al q price which reL
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
| other watch. merely pay from % TO 90 per cent
| moro for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Wslthsm Waite hes a!
| less prices in grpenbscks 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 tina: 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 skiiui artisans in OUT works, and long
use on the part OF the public, demonstrated TO
BIO essential to correct and enduring time-kecp-
ing.
