WALTHAM
WA CHES

The extensive use Of these watches for the Ia i
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and EXpressmen, the most eXactipg of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength,
stcadiness durability 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 100000 Of these watches now
speskng for themselves in the pockets of the peo-
plea proof and a guarantee of their snperority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at waltham, enables them
to produce watches at a price which renders com
petition futile and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from Is to 10 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 matchmaking originating in this county or in
Europe, only those were finally adopted which se-
we're testing by the most skillful artisans in our
works, and long use the part of the pablo, dem
onstrated 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-
liar construction TO prevent damage to the train by
the breakAge of mains Prings, is original with the
American Watch Company, who having had the
resual of all other contrivances, adopted Foggs
patent pnion as being the best and faultess.
Hardened and tempered halr-s springs, now uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best,
are used i'll all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, pro
tectng the movement from dnst and lessening the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches.
Our new patent stemwinder, keyless watch
is already decided success, and great improve
on any 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 por-
tons of the United States where watchmakers do
| not abound, watches with the above mentioned i'm
proyements which tend to insure accuracy, clean
valuable.
