No. 5 Nassau St., New York, Oct. 9,1S71. f 
Ot' the Fifteen Millions Chesapeake anio Ohio Six 
Per Cent Loan, less than one third remains unsold, and 
this remainder is rapidly being taken up. These bonds 
have thirty years to run, arc especially desirable for in¬ 
vestment, can now be bought 
17 per cent less than Ten-Forties, 
20 per cent less than Five-Twenties, 
25 per cent less than Sixes of 1SS1, 
and are equally sure to be paid, principal and interest, in 
gold coin. Price (at present) 93 and accrued interest, 
that is, with coupon attached, due Nov. 1st. 
$1,000 Chesapeake and Ohio Bond costs to-day $950.47. 
$500 Chesapeake and Ohio Bond costs to-day $478.23. 
$100 Chesapeake and Ohio Bond costs to-day $95.05. 
We have but a limited supply left of the smaller de¬ 
nominations. Bonds are in coupon or registered form, 
same as Five-Twenties. 
When the Railroad is completed in 1872, and the Bonds 
are dealt in at the Stock Exchanges of the world, we 
have no doubt they will be equally popular with the Cen¬ 
tral Pacifies, which now command a premium, and are a 
favorite security here and in Europe, both roads being 
prominent lines and under substantially the same fiscal 
management. Principal and interest of the Central 
Pacific aiid Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds are speci¬ 
fically payable in gold coin in New York; the interest on 
the former being paid January and July, and of the latter, 
May and November, corresponding with the two classes 
of Five-Twenties. 
We recommend cither of them to onr friends and cus¬ 
tomers with the same confidence that we did the Five- 
Twenty Bonds, when we were selling millions of them 
for the United States Government. 
We buy and sell Five-Twenties, Ten-Forties, 
Eightt-Ones, and Central or Western Pacifics, or 
receive them in payment for Chesapeake and Ohio 
Bonds at their current market price. Orders for Chesa¬ 
peake and Ohio Bonds, accompanied with Drafts or 
Checks, may be forwarded to us by mail, and the bonds 
will be sent by express, charges paid.

General Superintendent’s Office, V 
Albany, March 20,1870. ) 
T. M. Avery, Esq., 
Pres’t National Watcli Co., Chicago: 
Rear Sir :—In answer to your inquiries as to the Watch I 
have of your manufacture, I would say that I have carried 
it some four months, and find it a good, reliable time-keeper. 
The movements seem perfect; it runs regular, and I see no 
difference in its register of time whether I carry it about 
witli me in the office or when traveling by trains. I do not 
hesitate to recommend them as reliable Watches, with per¬ 
fect works running with great accuracy, and well adapted 
for use of railroad men or others that wish good Watches. 
Besides, they are the production of our own country’s 
mechanics, and that, together with their merit as time- 
registers, should certainly give them preference over 
imported Watches, however good the reputation of foreign 
makers may be. Yours truly, 
J. TILLINGHAST. 
Similar testimonials to the above have been received from 
the General Sup’ts of the Union Pacific, the Chicago, Alton, 
and St. L., the C. and 11. I., the C. and N. W., the Erie, 
the Hudson River, the Penn. Central, the Mich. Central, and 
the Mich. Southern Railroads. The Penn. Central R.R. are 
furnishing the Elgin Watches to their engineers. Nearly 200 
are now in use upon that line owned by the Company. Not 
the least among the causes why this leading and splendidly 
managed road has never met with a serious accident in the 
running of its trains, is the reliability of these time-keepers. 
From the above testimony, it is claimed for them that they 
are the standard Railroad Watches of the Country.
