THE FIRST MORTGAGE 
BONDS 
OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY 
presont Unusual inducements to investors, among which are 
the following : 
First— The rate of Interest is six per cent. IN GOLD. 
Second— The principal is payable IN GOLD at maturity. 
Third— The cost, NINETY-FIVE PERCENT, and accrued 
Interest, Is TEN PER CENT, less than that of the cheapest 
six per cent. Gold-bearing Bonds of the Government. 
Fourth- Owing to the liberal grant3 and loans by which 
the Government fosters this great national enterprise, its 
success Is certain, and Its financial stability is altogether 
Independent of the contingencies which attend ordinary 
railroad enterprises. The SECURITY of its FIRST MORT- 
GAGE BONDS is therefore AMPLE, and gives them a char- 
acter for safety and reliability equaled only by that of the 
obligations of the Government itself- Fifth. — The earn- 
ings of the completed portion of the road are already large- 
ly in excess of the interest obligations which the Company 
will incur on twice the distance, rendering the uninterrupt- 
ed payment of the interest ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. 
Sixth.— At the present rate of gold they pay nearly s;£ per 
cent, on the amount Invested.

We claim and are prepared to prove that the American 
"Watches manufactured at Waltham, Massachusetts, are not 
only equal, but far superior, to the watches of England, 
Switzerland and France. "We also claim 'that they are 
CHEAPER, MORE ACCURATE, MORE DURABLE, and 
more easily kept in order and repaired than any other 
watches in the market. 
Because In each one of the very numerous parts of which 
a watch is made up, we attain, by mechanical power, nearly 
absolute mathematical precision and uniformity, making 
every watch of any one style a true copy of its model. 
This similarity in structure reduces the cost of production; 
it secures uniformity in results; it infallibly perpetuates 
any excellence that may be once achieved, and makes it 
easy to repair any injury sustained, or replace any part that 
may be lost or destroyed. 
In addition to these mechanical advantages, our "Watches 
arc simpler in structure, and therefore stronger, and less 
likely to be injured than foreign watches. 
How they run under the hardest trial watches can have, is 
shown by the following letter .

Gentlemen • The watches manufactured by you have 
been in use oil this railroad for several years by our engine- 
men to whom we furnish watches as part of our equipment. 
There are now some three hundred ol tliein carried on our 
line and we consider them trood and reliable time-keepers. 
Indeed I have great satisfaction in saying your watches 
give us less trouble, and have worn and do wear much 
Longer without repairs than any watches we Iwe ever had 
In use on thU road. As vou are aware, we formerly trusted 
to those ol English manufacture, of acknowledged good 
reputation, but lie a cla^s they never kept time as correctly, 
nor have thev done as good service, as yours. 
In these statements I am sustained by my predecessor. 
Mr Lewis, whoso experience extended over a series of 
vcars. Respectfully, 
ye EDWARD IT. WILLIAMS, 
General Superintendent.
