WALTHAM
WATCHES.

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Walthan
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects
is to beside the question the real value OF these
time keepers.
More than 10000 OF these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo
plea proof and a guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of
the Company's Works NJ Waltham, enables them
to produce watches at price which renders com
petition futile and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from Is to 80 per cent for theil
watches than is necessary.
The time-pieces combine every Improvement that
long experience has proved of real practical use

works, and long on the part of the pdblic dem
cnstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize
The Invention and use of centre pinion of pecu.
mar construction to prevent damage to the train by
the breakage of mains springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who having had the
resiual OF all other contrivanccs. adopted Fogg's
patent pinion as being the best and taultless.
Hardened and tempered halr-sprIngs, now uni
yersally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All altman Watches have dust-proof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dnst, and lessening the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
othel watches.
Our new patent stem.winder or keyless watch
is already decided success, and great improve.
on any stem winding watch in the American mar

now offered To the public. To those living in por-
tons OF the United States where watchmakers do
not abound, watches with the above mentioned i'm
proyements which tend 10 insure accuracy, clean.
