If your dealer tells you that Swiss watches better
than American, he says because of the extra profit

To prove this fact, prepared to offer fifty
WALTHAM WATCHES to be run against fifty
watches of any foreign make in a competitive test
of timekeepng-the one hundred watches to be placed
for this purpose in the hands Of some competent and
