WAETHAM
WAT CHE S,

The extensive use of these watches for the Iaet
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Exprcssmen the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects
is to beside the question 10 the real value of these
time keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches now
speaking for themselves in The pockets of The peo
plea proof and a guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
| The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them
to produce watches at price which renders COM
petition futile and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from % To 50 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 country OF IN
Europe, only those were finally adopted which Sc
we're testing by the most skillful artisans in
works, and long on the part of the public dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
timc-keeping.
| Among the many improvements we would par
ticulariZc:
The inv, utiou and sc of a centre -pnion of pecu
liar con- trucon to prevent damage to the train by
the breakage OF main springs, original with the
American Watch Company, who having had the
resfual of all other contrivances, adopted fogg's
patent pinion as being the best and taultless.
Hardened and tempered halr-sprlngs now uni
yersally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps pro-
tecting the movement from dnst, and lesscning the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other wltCEcs.
Our new patent stem-winder, keyless watch
is already a decided success, and great improve
on any stem-wndng watch in the American mar
ket, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public. 10 those living
tons of the United States where watehmakers do
not abound, watches with the above mentioned i'm
provements which tend to insure accuracy, elean
illness, durability and convenience, must prove in
valuable.
