WALTHAM
WATCHES.

The extensive use of these watches for the last
ffteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exactng OF watch
wearers has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness durability and accuracy of the Waitham
Watch. To satisfy that class In all these respects
is beside the question to the real value OF these
time keepers.
More than 5000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo'
plea proof and n guarantee of their superiority
all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them
TO produce watches nj price which renders COM
petition futile and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from % to 30 per cent more for their
watches than is necessary.
The time pieces combine every improvement that
long experience has proved of real practical use
Having had the refusal of nearly every invention
to matchmaking originating in this country or in
Europe only those were finally adopted which Sc
we're testing by the most skillfull artisans in our
works and long use on the part of the public dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
tcularize:
The invention and of a centre pnon of pecu
liar construction to prevent damage TO the tram by
the breakage of main-sFrings, Is original with the
American Watch Company, who having had the
patent pinion rs being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-sprngs, now uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best,
are used in all grades of Watham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dustproof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dnst and lessening the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches
Our new patent stem winder, or keyless watch
is already decided success, and great improve
any em-winding watch in the American mar
ket, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public. To those living in por-
lions of the United States where watchmakers do
not abound, watches with the above mentioned i'm
provements which tend to insure accuracy, clean
liness durability and convenience, must prove in
valuable.
