wALTHAM WATCHES.

The extensive use of these Watches for the last f
teen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers, and
Expressmen-the most exscting of watch-wearers-
has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadi-
ness, durability, and accuracy of the WaItham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects is
to decide the question as to the real value these
time-keepers.
More than 100000 OF these watches Are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets OF the p.o
plea proof and q guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of the
Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to pro-
duce watches at price which renders com petition
futile, and those who buy any other watch merely
pay from Is to 80 Per cent. more for their watches
than is necessary.
We now selling WaItham Watches at less
prices in greenback 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 improvement
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
severe testing by the most skiiifu artisans in our
works, and long use on the part of the public, de-
monstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time-keeping.
Among the many i'm provements we would particu-
larize:
The invention and use Of centre pinion OF pecu-
liar construction, to prevent damage to the train by
the breakage Of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who, having had the
fusal Of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's
Patent pinion as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now univer.
sally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are
used in all grades Of Waltham 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
watches.
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch, is
already a decided success and a great improvement
on any stem winding watch in the American ket,
and by far the cheapest watch Of its quality now
offered to the public To those living In portions of
the United States here watchmakers do not abound
watches with the above mentioned improvements
which tend to insure accuracy, cleanliness, dura-
bility and convenience, must prove invaluable.
Every watch guaranteed by the Company.
