WALT THAN WATCH S.

The extensive use of these WATCHES for the
last fifteen years by railway conductors, cngi-
ncers, and expressmcn, the most exacting OF
watcll-1earers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness durability and accuracy, Of
THE wALTHAM WATCH.
To satisfy that class In all these respects is to
decide the question as to the real value Of these
time keepers
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 Company's Works at Walt,am enable them to
produce watches at price which renders compe-
titlon futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from twenty-five to dfty per cent. more
for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling WALTHAM WATCHES at
less prices In grcenbacks than the gold prices be-
fore the war; There is no other manufacture OF
any kind III the United States of which this can be
said.
These timc-pieces combine every improvement
| that long experience has proved of real practi-
cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
| Invention I'm. matchmaking originating in this
country or in Europe, only these were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skilful
artisans In our works. and long use OH the part o:
the public demonstrated to be essential to correct
and enduring timc-kccping.
Among tie many improvements we would par
| ticularize:
The invention and use Of centrc-pinion of pc
culiar construction, TO prevent damage to the
train by the breakage Of main springs, Is original
with the American Watch Company, who, hay
| ing had the refusal of all other contriyanccs,
adopted Fogg's Patent Pinlon rs being the best
| and faultlcss.
Hardened and tempered hair-sprinGs now uni
yersally admitted by watchmakcrs TO he the best,
| arc used In all grades of Waltbam Watches.
| All Waltllam Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement from dust and lesscning
the necessity Of the frequent cleaning necessary
| in other watches.
Our new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEY
LESS WATCH, is already decided success and
| 4 great improvement on any stem winding water
| In the American market, and by far tho cheapest
watch Of Its quality now offered to the public. Tt

watchmakers do not abound, watches with tb'
aforementioned improvements, which tcndto.in
sure accuracy, cleanliness, durability, and con
| yenjence, must prove invaluable.
