The extensive OF these watches FOR the laat feen
years by Railway Conductors, Engineers and Express
men, the most cxacting OF watchwearers, has thorough
y demonstrated the strength steadIness durability and
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class
in NIL these respects is to decide the question as 10 the
real value Of these time.keepers.
More than SOC, 700 Of these watches are now speak,
ing for themselves in the pockets of the peopea proof
and guarantee Of their superiority all others.
The superior organization and great extent of tve
Company's Works at Waltham, enables them TO produ
watches at a price which renders competition futile, and
those who buy any other watch merely pay from 25 10
so per cent for their watches than is necessary.
These time pIcces combine every Improvement TINT n
long experience has proved of real practical use Hay
ing had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch
making originating in this country or in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which testing by the
most skfull artisans in works. and long on the
part of the public, demonstrated to be esseaa to cor
rect and enduring time-keeping
Among the many Improvements We would partlcu-
larIze
construction to prevent damage to the train by the
breakage Of main-sprngs, original with the American
Watch Company, who, having had the refusal of oil
other contriyances, adopted Foggs patent pnion as
being The best and fautess.
Hardened and tempered har-springs, universally
admitted by Watchmakers 10 be the best used in all
grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protect.
ing the movement from DUST and lessening the neccss
y of the frequent cleaning necessary in other watches
Our new patent stem-winder or keyless watch is al
ready decided success, and great improvement on
any stem-windng watch in The American MARKET and
by far cheapest watch of its quality offered 10 the
public To those living in portions OF the United States
where watchmakcrs do not abound, watches with tht
