IN soliciting anew the pnblic patron
III age of Watches Of domestic prodpc-
ton, the American Watch Company re-
specially represent
That no fact ia the history Of manu-
factnres is more completely demonstra-
ted than that the best system OF making
Watches Is the one first established by
them Ii Waltham. That system always
had the warrant of reason and common
sense. and now the test of time ~ the
trial Of the Wathes themselves cannot
be denied to have been ample and sat-
isfactory. It is admitted on every hand
the evidence Of daily observation and
common repute that the Watches not
only keep correct time, but that az ma
chimes they endure. 1T should seem that
nothing more is needed but that their
sizes. shapes, and appearance should
suit the tastes of the people AS to all
these conditions the American Watch
Company are now fully prepared to an
swer the exactions of the market: They
confidently assert there is no longer any
need for such reasons to import watch
es of any description whatever. Every
size in ordinary demand, every shape
and every variety of finish and decora-
tion may now be had. And as to price,
the recent reductions leave no room for
doubt that the Waltham system of
Matchmaking is the most economical
as well as the most reliable, and that
the Waltham Watch ia the cheapest as
well as the best.
Many new varieties of movements
have been added during the last year,
all of which display the latest improve
ments in design and finish, and evince
the rapid progress the Company is ma
king toward perfection in the art. A.
mong these the new small size Watch,
for boys and young gentlemen, is to be
specially noted. A very low price has
been made for this Watch because it is
a boys watch, and with the object of
bringing it within the means of boys of
all classes. Price being considered, no
such watch, in quality and beauty, has
ever, in any country, been produced.
The "Crescent-street" full plate
Watch, added durisg the last year, is
now made either with or without stem
winding and setting attachment This

tries to beat or equal for its price. Tt

try, in size and appearance, in finish,
and general excellence, is especially in

ness men, and in particular to Railway
