T,HE NEW
W A l. T II A NJ

SThe past twelve months at the Waltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the Company's
history Several wholly new stem-windng watches
have bren 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-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 80 that
at present it Is not 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 is matter Of
fact that hardly any line American Watches are sold
but those of the Waltham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Australia,and
the British Possessions generally, and foreign coun-
tries are aban ,oning the hand made productions of
Switzerland and England, and eagerly ,optlng
American machine made waltham watches in their
place.
Buyers of silver watches should be careful to OBJ
the stamp of the Company on the case ,as wei
as sn the movement, as the waltham Watch move
ments frequently put into cases which are infe-
rior both in quality of metal and workmanship.
