The past twelve months at the waltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the companys
history. Several wholly new stem-winding watches
have en- produced and great improvements have
been effected in the manufacture OF AL variety Of
their standard watches, until now they include
every size In both key and stem-wlnding, 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 too much TO claim that the wal
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches In
the world. These claims are, in fact, almost every
where admitted. In this country 1t ia a matter OF
fact that hardly any fine American watches,sr sold
but those OF the waltham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Australia, and
the British Possessions generally, and foreign
tries are abandoning the hand made productions OF
Switzerland and England, and eagerly adopting
American machine made waltham watches In their
place. ,..-.z s7t-
