WALTHAM
WATCHES.

The extensive use OF these watches for the last
ffteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness dura bty and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch To satisfy that class in all these respects
is to beside the question to the real value of these
| time keepers
| More than 500, 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the peo
| plea proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Watham, enables them
to produce watches at a price which renders COM
petition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from % to 80 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 watch making originating in this country or in
Europe, only those were finally adopted which Sc
we're testing by the most sklfull artisans in our
works, and long on the part OF the public dem.
onstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par

The Invention and Sc OF a centre pinion of pccu.
liar construction to prevent damage to the train by
| the breakage of main springs, is original with the
American Watch Company, who having had the

patent pinion being the best and ,autless
Hardened and tempered har-sprngs, now uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best,
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
| All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, pro-
tecting the movement from dnst, and lessenng the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary i'll
Other watches.
Our new patent stem-wnder or keyless watch
is any ssdfa %scn

now offered to the public To those living in por-
