To satisfy thai class in all these respects Is to
decide the question RS to the real value Of these
time keepers.
bore than 45o, 900 Of these WATCHES are now
speaking for themselves In the pockets OF the
people-a proof and guarantee Of their superb
GRITTY over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Com panv's Works at Waltham enable thein to
produce watches at price which renders comDe-
titlon 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 at
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 use on the part OF
the public demonstrated TO be essential to correct
and enduring time-keeping. .ra .a
Among the many improvements we would par

culiar construction, TO prevent damage TO the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original

| adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion rs being the best
and faultess. ILL.,. ...,.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
yersally admitted by watchmakers to be the best,
are used In ail grades of Waltham Watches.
All WaItham 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
| a great improvement on any stem-winding watch
In the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of It's quality now offered to the public To
those living in portions Of the United States where

aforementioned improvements, which tend.to in

| ycnIence must prove Invaluable.
