The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors In.
gineers, and Expressmen, the most exactlng OF
watch wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadiness, durability and accurs-
cy Of the Wslthsm Watch. To satisfy that
class in all these respects is to decide the ques-
ton as to tho real value of these time.keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets OF
the people--a proof and guarantee Of their
superiority over all others.

tho Company's Works at Waltham, enable
them to produce watches al q price which reL
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from % to 30 per cent
more for their watches than is necessary.

of any kind in tie United States OF whlcn Inis
