the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Exprcssmcn, the most exacting
OF watch-woarcrs, has thoroughly demonstrate
cd the strength, steadiness, durability and
accuracy Of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide
the question AZ to tho real value of these time
keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in tho pockets of
the people-a proof and guarantee of their
superiority over all others.

renders competiotion futile, and those who

before the war. There is no other manufac
ture of any kind i'll the United States of which

Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by watch akers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
