THE extensive usc of theso WATCHES for tho last fif toon yearn by Railway Conductors, Engineers and Expressmen, tho moat exacting of watch-woarore, has thoroughly demonstrat? ed the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of tho Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects, ia to decido tho question aa lo thc real value of these time? keepers. More than *50,000 of these watches are now spoaking for themselves in tho pockets of tho pooplo-a proof and a guarantee of their superiority over all others. Tho superior organization and groat extent of tho Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to produce watches at a price which renders compotiotiou futile, and tboBO who buy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to 50 por cent, moro for their watchea than is nocosBary. Wo aro now soiling Waltham Watches at less prices in greenbacks, than tho gold prices before thc war. Thero is no other manufac? turo of any kind in tho United States of which thia can bo said. 1 hone time-pieces combino every improve? ment that a long experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-m&kiog origi? nating in thia country or in Europe, on'y those woro dually adopted whioh severe testing, by tho most skillful artisans in our.worka, and long uso on tho part of tho public, demonstrat? ed to bo essontial to oorrcot and enduring time-keeping. Among tho many improvements wo would particularize: The invention and usc of a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent damago to the train by tho hroakago of main-aprings, is original with tho Amoriean Watch Company, who, having had tho refusal of all other con? trivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as ho ing tho host and faultless. Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally admitted by watch-makers to ho tho host, aro usod in all grades of Waltham Watchea. All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protecting the movement from dust and les? soning tho necessity of tho frequent cleaning necessary in other watchea. Our new patent stum-winder, or keyless watch, is alroady a decided success, and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in tho American markot, and hy far the cheap? est watch of its quality now offered to tho public. To thoso living in portions of the United States whero watch-makers do not abound, watchos with tho above mentioned improvements which tend to insuro accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience, must provo invaluable Evorv watch guaranteed by tho Company. To prevent imposition, buyers should eec that every watch should bear either of tho following trado marks: American Watch Co.Waltham, Mass Am'n. Watch Co.Waltham, Mass American Watch Co., Crescent St.Waltham, Mass Appleton, Tracy A" Co.Waltham, Mass Waltham Watch Co.Waltham, Mass P. S.
