The extensive use of these watches for the last

strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of
the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in
all these respects, is 10 decide 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 tho
people-a proof and guarantee of their superb

The superior organization and great extent Of
the Company's Worksat Waltham, enables them
toproduce watches at price which renders CONS
petition futile, and those who buy any other
watch merely pay from IS to SO per cent. mole
for their watches than is necessary.
These time pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practi-
cal use. Having had the refusal Of nearly every
invention in watch making originating in this
country or in Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skill
full artizans in our works, and long use on the
part of the public, demonstrated to be essential
to correct and enduring time keeping. 49,
Among the many improvements we would
particularize
The invention and use of a centre pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, is origi-
nal with the American Watch Company, who,
having had the refusal of all other contrivances,
adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best
and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grades of w altman Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proOf CAPS,
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning neces-
sary in other watches.

is already decided success, and great i'm
provement on any stem 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 portions of the United States where
watchmakers do not abound, watches with tho
above mentioned improvements which tend to
ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.
