Piano for a ILife Time. 
Those desiring to find a Piano which will give entire satis- 
faction in tone, touch and style, and which will remain 
good ron a life time, will please call and examine, or send 
for a circular describing the newly invented 
ITBATHL T §MEB£ PIAXOS, 
constructed on an entirely new plan, the invention of Mr. 
Frederick Mathushek, who is well known among manufac- 
turers as the "Father" of improvements in Pianos. By 
his latest modifications, the power and tone of the instru- 
ment arc wonderfully increased, so much so, that the small- 
est size, of " square " form, only four feet nine inches long 
and lico feet eight inches wide, equals the full-sized piano 
as ordinarily made. The peculiar construction ixsches its 
durability. Address BAELOW, DOEHLER & CO.,

AMERICAN WATCHES. 
Tlie trne value of Machinery applied to "Watch-making is 
not that by its use "Watches are made rapidly, but that they 
are made correctly. Terr few people know why a Waltham 
"Watch should be superior to any other. In the first place, 
the Watch is regarded at Waltham as only a machine to be 
constructed like any other machine on mechanical princi- 
ples. The Factory is indeed little else but avast machine 
shop, the principle work in which is not opon watches, bnt 
upon machinery to make them with. If the watches are 
good, it is because the machinery is good. Of course there 
must be no fault in the principle or plan of the movement, 
none in the sizes or shapes of the pieces of which it is com- 
posed, nothing wanting in their properties, and no error in 
their positions. These points once thoroughly settled and 
fixed in the case of every part of each variety of watch, it 
rests wholly with the machinery constructed with infinite 
variety of form and function expressly for the purpose to 
produce the finished pieces. The method established in 
every department is in short that of the reduplication of parts 
by mechanical means, and carried out on the system of the 
finestsub-division of labor. Bymeansof multiplying gauges 
and microscopes, tests and Inspection for the detection of 
wear in cutting tools and for faults and flaws in steel or stone, 
are made to accompany the work in every stage from be- 
ginning to end. It follows that the Watch goes together a 
perfect machine itself. Every part is found to fit properly 
in its place. Every pin maybe pushed till it pinches, and 
every screw turned home. Instead of a sluggish and feeble 
action, the balance, even under the pressure of the lightest 
mainspring, vibrates with a wide and free motion, and the 
beat has the clear and rinsing sound always characteristic 
of the Waltham Watch. The machine is a timekeeper from 
the start. 
This system is unknown in foreign countries and is entire- 
ly original with the Waltham Company. The Company 
claim that under it they produce watches which cannot be 
equaled for every quality which makes a watch valuable. 
Simple in plan and correct in principle, the movement is 
not only beautifully finished, substantial, accurate and 
cheap, bnt is uniform to the smallest details, not easily dam- 
aged, easily repaired and always as good as new. There are 
different grades of finish on the different kinds, as there arc 
different sizes and shapes to suit all tastes and wants, but 
every Watch that bears the genuine trade mark of *' Wal- 
tham." is guaranteed to be a good oue, and nobody need 
be afraid to buy it. 
Prom The N. Y. Tribune. 
"The American Watch Com pan v, of Waltham, Mass.. es- 
tablished in 1S50, lias grown into proportions which entitle 
it to a rauk anions the manufacturing enterprises of Ameri- 
ca. The quality of these instruments" has been thoroughly 
tested by minute comparisons, and the result is decidedly 
in favor of the home-made over the imported. 
"The first duty of a watch is to keep good time. Its other 
uses are decorative and subsidiary. The simpler its median 
ism the more trustworthy its action, and. tlie system upon 
which watches are constructed by the American Company 
is tlie verv perfection of simplicity. 
"An important question is that of the relative costliness of 
European and American Watches. It appears that the ad- 
vantage of cheapness is also with us. The difference in price 
is not excessive, but is sufficient to be an object to any pur- 
chaser. The virtue of superior durability, however, is one 
which onglit to be well considered in this regard. Ameri- 
can instruments will outlast all others. It has been esti- 
mated that we pay Europe § r >,000,000a year for watches, and 
a like sum for keeping them in order. At our own doors 
watches are manufactured at a less price, of better quality, 
less likely to become disordered, and so arranged that in 
case of injury by violence, the injury may cheaply and expe- 
ditiously be repaired.'' 
From Tlie N. Y. Times. 
"AsTERtCAN' Waltham Watches.— This country has rea- 
son to be proud of this splendid specimen of American oper- 
ative genius and enterprise. That it will work a revolution 
in the watch manufacturing of the world no one can doubt 
who examines the operations of the Waltham Establishment, 
for it turns out watch movements at just about one-half the 
cost of imported movements — beside the an i form reliability 
of the machine made watches must give them a great ad- 
vantage over all others wherever known. A poor time- 
piece of the machine make will be as rare in the future as a 
good one of band-make has been heretofore, for machinery 
is arbitrary in its performance, and can make a pcrfct arti- 
cle just as easv as one that is worthless. It will be a cause 
of congratulation if this highly useful American enterprise 
shall have the effect of driving out of market tlie thousands 
of trashy foreign articles, miscalled timekeepers, by furnish- 
ing so excellent and economical a substitute." 
Prom Tlie M. Y. Herald. 
"We notice with regret, (writing of the Paris Exposition), 
the absence of specimens of American manufacture, which, 
although only comparatively or recent birth among us. Is 
already producing results of the most satisfactory character. 
The Watche« manufactured by the Waltham Company are 
certainly, so far as strength, durability, and excellence us 
time-keepers are concerned, as good as anything produced 
by the .French or Swiss manufactures." 
From The IV. Y. World. 
" We have had one of the works of this Company in a case 
for some considerable time, and, comparing them with form- 
er first-clas-* works of different manufacture possessed by ns, 
they have established, in our opinion, their superiority over 
auy ever Introduced for correctness as timepieces." 
From The Scientific American. 
" It [s believed that a Waltham Watch Is worth double the 
price of many of the Imported watches made by hand." 
From Harper's AVecltly. 
"The beauty, the precision, the greater cheapness, the 
uniform excellence ol a watch constructed by machinery so 
exquisite that the mere spectacle of its operation is poetic, 
gradually give th* 1 American Watches a public preference 
which will not be deceived."
