IN soliciting anew the pnblic patron
ACE Of Watches Of domestic produc-
fion the American Watch Company ri
spectfully represent
That no fact in the history OF manu-
actures is more completely demonstra-
ed than that the best system OF making
Watches is the one first established by
them at Waltham. That system always
had the warrant Of reason and common
sense and now the test Of time in the
trial of the Wathes themselves cannot
be denied to have been ample and sat
isfactory. 1t is admitted on every hand
the. evidence of daily observation and
common repute-that the Watches not
only keep correct time, but. that as ma
chimes they endure. 1t should seem that
nothing more is needed but that their
sizes, shapes, and appearance should
suit the tastes CT the people. As to all
these conditions the American Watch
Company are now fully prepared to an
swer the exactions of the market: Lhey
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 decora1
ton may now be had. And as to price,
the recent reductions leave no room Tor
doubt that the WaItham system OF
Watch is the most economical
as well as the most reliable, and that
the Waltham Watch is the cheapest as
well as the best. ... ..a-...

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
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

challenges all manufacturers of all coun-
tries to beat or equal for its price. It
is made with all the Iatestimprovements
in every part-improvements which i'm
prove-and which not only make it bet
ter for its purposes as q timekeeper, but
will make it the great favorite with
watch-makers. This, the highest grade

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