WALTEHANE
WATCHES.

The extcnsiycusc Of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engi.
neers and ExpTessmen, the most eNacting Of
atch-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated
the strength, steadlness, durability and accura-
cy Of the Waltham Watch To satisfy that
class in all these respects, is to decide the ques'
tl0n as to the real value on these time keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches arc now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
people-a proof and guarantee Of their supe-
rority over all others.
The superior ganizatlon and great extent of
the CompMys works at WaltEam, enables
them to produce watches at price which rem
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent
more Tor their watches than Is necessary.
These time-picccs combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved of real
practical uSo. Having had the refusal Of nearly
every invention in matchmaking originating
in this country or in Europe, only those were
finally adopted which severe testing by the
most skilfull artisans In our works, and long
use ON the part Of the public, demonstrated TO
be essential to correct and enduring time keep
| ing.
Among the many Improvements we would
| particularize :
The invention and use of n centre -plnion of
| peculiar construction, to prevent damage TO
| the train by the brcakage of mNin-spaings, is
original with the American Watch Company,
| who, having had the refusal fall other c0ntri-
yanses adopted Forge patent pinion as being
| the best and iaultlcss
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
| universally admitted by WatchmAkers to be
the, best arc used in all grades of Waltham
! Watches.
| All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps,
| protecting the movement from dust, and lessen
| ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning
neccssaryin othcrwatches.
Our new patent stem -winder, or keylcss
| watch is already decided success, and n great
! Improvement on any stem winding watch in
| inc American market, and by far the cheapest
| watch oflts quality now offered TO the public.

tend to ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durabili-
w. yandcOnvenicnce, must prove invaluable.
