The extensive use Of these WATCHES for the
last fifteen years by railway conductors, engi.
neerR, and expressmen, the most exacting Of
watch-wearers, 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. a
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
peoples proof and guarantee OF their superb
GRITTY over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Companv's Works at Waltham 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 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
said. . @s
These time-pieces combine every Improvement
that long experience has proved of real practl-
col 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 skilful
artisans in our works, and long on the part Of
the public demonstrated to be essential to
and enduring tme-keeping.
| Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize:
| The invention and use Of a centre-pinton Of PEE
| culiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakase Of main springs, Is original
with the American Watch Company, who, hav.
| ing had the refusal of all other contrivances,
adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as being the best
| and fauitless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
| versally admitted by watchmakers to be the best,
are used In all grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust and lessening
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary
In other watches.
Our new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEY.
LESS WATCH, is already decided success and
in the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of It's quality offered to the public. To
those living In portions Of the Uniied States where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with the
aforementioned improvements, which tendtoin-
sure accuracy, cleanliness, durability, and con-
venience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch GUARANTEED by The Company.
