w The extensive use Of these watches-for.
the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors En-
gineers and Expressmen, the most exacting of
watch wearers, las thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadness, durability and accuracy o.
the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all
these respects, is to decide the question as to The
real value of these time keepers.
More than soc, 0C0 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-a proof and guarantee of their superb
ty over all others ..,l aal
The superior organization and great extent Of
the Companys Works at Walthham, enables them
4 to produce watches at price which renders
competition futile and those who buy any other
watch merely pay from rs TO SO per cen. more
for their watches than is necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practi-
cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
invention in watch making originating in this
! country or in Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skfult
artisans in our works, and long use on the part
of the public demonstrated TO be essential to-
correct and enduring ime-keepiDg.
Among the many improvements We would par
ticularize:
The invntion and use of centre pinon of ps-
culfar constructions, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage to the main springs, is
! original with the American Watch Company, who,
| having had the refusal of all other contrvances,
adopted Fogg,s patent pinion as being the best
and faultless. a-d
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Matchmaker to be the
| best are used in al grades of Waltham Watch
/ All Watham Watches have dust-proof caps.
protecting the movement from dust. and LESSEN
ing he necessity of The frequent cleaning neces-
sary in other watches.
Our new patent-stem -wiader, or keyfess watch
is already a decided success, and great i'm
proyement on any stem-winding watch in the.
American market, and by far tee cheapest watch
| of its Quality now offered TO the public To
those living in portions of the United States
where watchmakers do not abound, watches with
the above mentioned improvements which tend to
ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and con-
venence, must prove Invaluable.
