uTALTEtAsI WATCHES.

"
The extensive use Of these watches Tor the
last liltoon years by Railway Conductors En-
gincers, and Expressmen, the most exacting OF
watch. wearer<, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, sLcadiness, durability and accura-
cy of tho Waltham Watch. TO satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide the ques
ton as to the real value Of these tme.keepors.
More than 100000 Of these watches arc
now speaking for themselves in the pockets OF
tho pooplc--s proof and guarantee of their
superiority over All othors.
The supcrio. organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
| thom - produce watches al prico which ror
| dcrs competition futile, ana those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from Is to 80 per cent
| more for their watches than is necessary.
We arc now selling Walthsm Watches ii
| less prices in grcenbacks than the gold prices
| before tho war. There Is no other manufacture
| Of any kind in tic United States of which this
! can be said.
These tinc-pcces combine every improve
| mcnt that q long experience has proved OF roal
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 skilliul artisans in orr works, and long
use on the part Of the public, demonstrated TO
be essential to correct and enduring tlmo-keep-
ing
Among tho many improvements we would
par.icularize
The invention and uso Of ccntro-pinlon OF
peculiar construction. t" provont d"'nhEo 10
tho trun by tho broakagc OF main springs, is
| original with the American Watch Compan :,
| who, having had the refusal of all other con-
trivanccs adopted Foggs Patent pnion as be-
| ing the bts: G1d faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally Nlmtted by matchmaker to the best,
arc used in ali 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, ne
cessary in other watches.
Cur new patent stem winder, or keylcss watch,
is already decided success and great i'm
provcmcRt on any stcm-winding watch in the
American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of its quality now offered to the public.
wstchmakcrs do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned improvements which tend TO
insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by tho Company.
