UTALTHAM WATCHES.

4 a
The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
gineers, and E1pressmcn, the most exacting Of
watch.wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadiness, durability and accura-
cy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that
class in all these respects is to decide the ques-
ton as to the real value Of these time.keepers.
More than 100000 Of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets Of
the people-s proof and q guarantee Of their
superiority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at .Waltham, enable
them to produce watches at price which rel
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch. merely pay from 25 to so per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Wslthsm Watc hes at
less prices in greenbacks than the gold prices
before the war. THERE'S no other manufacture
of any kind in ths United States of which this
can be said.
These time-peces combine every Improve
ment that 8 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 skillful artisans in our works, and long
use on the part of tho public, demonstrated to
be essential to correct and enduring time keep
ng.
Among the many improvements We would
particularize
The invention and use Of centre-pinion Of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to
the train by the breaksge of main springs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
who having had the refusal of al other con-
trvsnces. adopted Fogg's Patent pinion as be-
ing the best and fsultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universallyadmitted bywstchmakers TO the best
are used in all grades OF Wslthsm Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning, ne
ceesary in other watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and u great I'M
provemeat on any stem-windng watch III me
American market, and by far the cheal.9st
watch Of its quality now offered to the public.
To those living in all portions Of the US.Where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned improvements which tend to
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.
