FNHE EXTENSIVE USE OF THESE WATCH
= es Tor the last fifteen years by Railway Con-
ductors Engineers. ard Expressmen, the most
exactlnG of watCh-wearers, has thoroughly de-
monstrated the strength. steadiness, durability
and accuracy OF the Waltham Watch. To satis-
~ that class in all these respects, is to decide
the question as to the real value Of these time
keepers.
More than 45O. Oec OF these watches are now
speaking for themselves in tho pockets Of the
people-a proof and q guarantee OF their superb
ority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable them
to produce watches at price which renders COM
petition futile, and those who buy any other
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 he
said.
These time-pieces combine every Improvement
that q long experience has proved of real prac-
teal use. Having had the refusal of nearly ev-
cry invention IN matchmaking originating in this
country or IN Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skill
full artisans in our works, and long use on the
part of the public, demonstrated to be essential
to correct and enduring time-kseping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
The invention and use Of a centr pinion OF pc
cullar construction, to prevent damage TO the
train by the breakage of main springs, Is original
with the American Watch Com pany, who. having
had the refusal Of all other contrivances, adop-
ted Fogg's Patent pinion as boing the best and
faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now uni
versally admitted by w&tchmakers to be the
best, are used in ell grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessen
ing the necessity Of the frequent cleaning neces-
sary in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided euccess and g. great i'm
provoment on any stem-winding watch in the
American market, and by far the cheapest watch
its quality now offered to the public. To
those Living III portions OF the United States
where watchmakers do not abound, watches with
the above mentioned improvements which tend
to insure accuracy, cleanliness. durability and
convenience. must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by tho Company.
