The superior Organization and great extent Of
the Companv's Works at Waltham enable them to
produce watches at price which renders compe-
sition 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

These time-pleces 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 skiIfnI

culiar construction, to prevent damage to the

and faultless.

versally Audited by watchmakers to be the best,
are used in Ill grades of Waltham Watches.

a great Improvement ON any stem-wlnding watch
In the american market, and by far the cheapest
watch f Its quality now offered to the public. To
those wing In portions Of the United States where
watcImakers do not abound, watches with the
