THE NEW
wv
W A L T II A NJ .

The past twelve months at the Waltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the Company's
history. Sc eral wholly new stem-winding watt hes
have en- produced, and great improvements have
been effected in the manufacture OF a / variety OF
their STANDARD watches, until now they include
every size in both key and stem-winding, that can
be desired OF every quality and every price. At the
same time new inventions in machinery, and other
large economies, have cheapened the cost so that
at present 1t Is not too much TO claim that the wal
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches in
the worli. These claims are in fact, almost every
where admitted. In tn country 1t is matter OF
fact that hardly any fine American watches, are sold
but those OF the Walthsm make while orders are
now regularly received from Eng and, Australia and
the British Possessions generally and foreign coun-
tries are aban ioning the hand made productions OF
Switzerland and England and eagerly opt ng
American machine made watham watches in their
place.
Buyers of silver watches should be careful TO OBJ
serve the stamp of the Company on the case,as vel
as en- the movement as the Waltham Watch move
ments are frequently put Into cases which are infe-
rior both in quality Of metal and workmanship.
