THE extensive Use of these WATCHES for
the last fifteen years by hallway Conductors,
Engineers ami Exrrcssmcn, the most cxactng
OF watch-wcarcrs, has thoroughly demonstrate
Ell the strength ste adincss, durability and
accuracy of the Wa!tham Watch. To satisfy
that class III all these respects, is TO decide
the question as to the real value OF these time
keepers.
More than 10000 Of these watches arc
| now speaking for themselves in the pockets Of
| the peoplc-a proof and 4 guarantee Of their
superiority over all others
The superior organization and great extent
OF the Company's Works ut Waltlan, enable
them TO produce watches at IL price which
renders competio.ion futile, and those who
buy any other watch, merely pay from % to
80 per cent more for their watches than is
necessary.
We are now selling Wallam Watches at
less prices i'll Grccnbacks, than the gold prices
before the war. There is no other ma,nlac-
turc of any kind i'll the United States of which
this can be said.
these time pieces combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal Of
nearly every invention in watch making oris;-
mating in this country or in Europe, only those
we're finally adopted which severe testing, By
the most skillful artisans in our works, and
long use on the part OF the public, demonstrate
ed to be essential to correct and enduring
me-keepng. R1-Among the many improve
mcnts we would particularize:
The invention and use of a centre-pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breakage OF main-springs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who, having had the refusal of all other con-
trivances, adopted Foggs patent pinion as be
ing the best and faultess
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watch makers - be
the best. are used in all grades Of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltharl Watches have dust-proof cars,
protecting the movement from dust and les.
| seninS the necessity of the frequent cleaning
| necessary in other watches.
| Our new patent stem -windcr, or kc,lcss
watch, is already decided success and 4
great improvement: on any item winding wat ch
i'll the American market, and by far the cheap
est watch of its quality now offered TO the
public. To those living in portions OF the
United States where watcl-makcrs do not

cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove Invaluable.
