FTIIE extensive use Of thcae watches for the last
l fifteen years hy Railway Conductors, Euginecrs
and Exprcssmca, the most cxacting Of watch
wearcr,, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
s,caliness. durability and accuracy of the Wal
than Watch. TO satisfy tha, class in all these
respects, IL to decide the question ny to the real
value OF these time keepers
More than 500, ,&DD OF these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets OF the pco
pie-a proof and ~ guarantee OF their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltha'n, enables them
TO produce watches Mt u price which renders com
petition futile, and those who buy any other
watch merely pay from 25 to 30 per cent more
for their watch than is necessary.
These time pieces combine every Improvement

which severe testing by the most skilull artisnus

public. demonstrated to be essential to correct and
enduring time keeping.

Fogg's patent pinion as being the beat and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hn:r.springs now uni
yersaly admitted by Watchmakers to he the best,
are used in MI grades OF Wa.tham Watches.
All Wa!iham Watches have dust proof caps,
protecting The movement from lust, an leSsrning
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary
in other watches.
