Watch To satisfy that class in all these IA
to decide the question to the real value Of these
time-keepers.
More than 100000 Of these watches are now
speaking for themselves In the pockets Of the peo
plea proof and a guarantee Of their superiority

The superior organization and great extent of the
COmpany's Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders competition
futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
pay From Is to 50 Per cent. more for their watches
than 10 necessary. ~
We are now selling Waltham Watches at lees
prices in than the gold prices before the
war. There is no other manufacture of any kind in
the United States of which this can be said
These time pieces combine every impreveueut
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal Of nearly every inven-
ton in Matchmaking originating in this country or
in Europe, only those were finally adopted which

works, and long use the part OF the public, de-
monstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.

sally admitted by watchmakers to be the bast, are
used in all grades of w altman W Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dust and lessening the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in other

already decided success and a great improv ement
on any stem winding watch in the American market,
