Nkw York, Dec, 3, 1869. 
Mr. Chas. Pratt. 108 Fulton St., New York: 
Dear Sir .'—I wish to add my testimony to tire good quali¬ 
ties of the “Astral” Oil, as seen in the following. A few 
nights ago at my residence in Clifton, N. J., the servant girl 
accidentally knocked over a lighted lamp tilled with your 
“Astral” Oil. The lamp fell to the floor and was instantly 
broken, scattering the contents-over the carpet. The wick, 
which was still burning, fell into the oil, but did not ignite it, 
and Was picked up and blown out, without causing any dam¬ 
age, further than the loss of the lamp. I have been burning 
your “Astral” Oil for a number of months, and am highly 
pleased with it. I consider it perfectly safe, and would use 
no other. 
Yours, .very.truly, Charles D. Spencer,

important to Watch Buyers. 
»yiHE ATTENTION OF WATCH BUYERS IS CALLED TO A FEW FACTS WHICH SHOULD 
especially influence intelligent purchasers, particularly where it is desirable to procure the best AMERICAN WATCH. 
fH^HE AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY, of Waltham, is the oldest and largest company-in the United 
-“-States; and with the advantage of sixteen years’ experience, the artisans employed are necessarily more expert and 
skillful than those employed elsewhere. 
npHE WALTHAM COMPANY make twice as many Watches as all the other American Watch Cosn- 
panics, and herein lies the secret of the moderate prices at which they are sold. 
fgnilE WALTHAM COMPANY make a larger and better assortment, and greatly,excel in making Fine 
Watches, simply because they have ample and improved machinery, and experienced and skillful labor. 
H^OR THE PAST YEAR OR TWO, many dealers have advertised WALTHAM WATCHES at low 
in-ices, and sold them at small profits. This system, however unwise, they must, in a free country, be free to follow, if 
they like; for It would he vain for us to attempt to control the sales of our manufactures after they have ceased to be our 
property. A newly organized Western Watch Company, in their unscrupulous efforts to make a market for their goods, 
instructed its traveling agents to call the attention of jewelers to the fact-that, through these advertisements, hut very 
small profits could be made on Waltham Watches, and to urge them on that account to discard our watches, recommend 
theirs instead, and to point out the fact that the public knew hut little of the different styles of their Watches, and conse¬ 
quently dealers could make large profits on their sale. 
■glTNDER this pretense of great friendliness for the trade, they sought the endorsement of dealers for 
their goods; and it was very natural that at least a small portion of the trade should recommend the goods which 
yielded the largest profits. 
|TN VIEW of these facts, the AMERICAN WATCH CO., believing the great majority of dealers are 
-“-perfectly satisfied with their profits on these goods, considering the number sold, and the little trouble of selling, would 
counsel buyers to insist on having their preference for WALTHAM WATCHES respected, and not allow themselves to be 
put off with any imitations, either of foreign or domestic make. 
For sale by all leading Jewelers.
