WAT CHI ES.
, Of these watches for the las,

The extensive use Of these watches for the last
fifteen years BY Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exaeting of watch
wearers, hiss thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of
the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that clas. in
all these respects is to decide the question as to
the real value of these time keepers.
More than 100000 of these w,tch., are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets If
tho people-a proof and guarantee Of their su-
Periority 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 rem i
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch merely pay from 25 to so per cent.
more for their watches than is necessary.
These me-pieces combine every Improvement
that long experience has proved of real prac
tical 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 skill
iul artisans in our works, and long on the
part Of the public, demon s;rsted to be essential
TO correct ana enduring time keeping.
Among the. many Improvements We would
particulsrize
