A few Reasons why the g WAT SCH! ? 73 t-e O {^r 5 18 THE BEST. It is made on tho best principle, while the foreign watch is generally made on no principle at ali. The foreign watch is mostly made by women and boys, by hakd. While their labor is cheap, ! their work is dear at any price. Such watches arc made without plan, and sold without guarantee. Thoy are irregular in construction, and quite as irregular in movement They are designed only to sell and the buyer is the party moat thoroughly sold. Those who have kept "ancres," "lepine.-,". and "Swiss levers" in professed repair lor a few years will appreciate tho truth of our statement THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH. Instead of being made of several hundred little pieces screwed together, the body of the American watch is formed of SOLID PLATES.? No jar interferes with the harmony of its working, and no sudden shock can throw its machinery out of gear. In riding, or any business pursuit, it is^ill held together as firmly as a single piece of metal. It is just what all machinery should 1st. ACCURATE; 2d, SIMPLE ; 3d. STRONG : 4th. ECONOMICAL. ? U uui UUI) ncturv oy OUT system, I but Quality. Y.'e do not pretend that our Watch can be bought for less money than the foreign j make-believes, but that for its real value it is sold i for one-half the price. OUR SOLDIER'S WATCH (named Wm. Ellery) is what its name indicates?Solid, Substantial, and always Reliable?waranted to stand any j amount cf marching, riding or fighting. OCR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH ' (named P. 8. Bartlett) is similar in size and gen-1 oral appearance, but has more jewels, and a more J elaborate finish. OUR LADLES' WATCH, recently brought out, ! is put up in a great variety of patterns, many of | them of rare beauty and workmanship, is quite small, but wan-anted to keep time. THE PROOF of the merits of ourwntchmaybe found in'ihc fact that we now employ over seven ]. hundred workmen in our factories, and that we ire still unable to supply the constantly increasing demand. OUR THREE-QUAP.TER PLATE WATCH is thiner and lighter tlun the others we have Inscribed. Its fiue chronometer balance is deli :r.te;y adjusted to correct the variation caused by j1 jbangea of temperature. These watci.cs are the 'raits of the latest inventions in chronometiy, in:l are made by oar best workmen, in a separate J lepartrucnt of onr factory. For the finest time-1 rceping qualities they challauge comparison with , he best works of the most famous English and ! Jwiss makers.
