American (Waltham) Watches, 
The Watches manufactured by the American Watch Com¬ 
pany of Waltham, Mass., have now been before tlie public 
for a period of twelve years, and have not only steadily ad¬ 
vanced in reputation, but have received tlie approbation of 
the most skillful experts, as well as of railroad engineers, 
conductors, expressmen, and others requiring accurate, re¬ 
liable, and durable time-keepers in their ordinary business 
pursuits. 
By successive reductions during tlie past two years all 
grades of our W'atclies may now be bought at prices to cor¬ 
respond witli those asked before tlie war, thus making them 
not only the best but the cheapest in the market. 
Unscrupulous dealers occasionally sell a worthless Swiss 
watcli representing it as made by us. To avoid all imposi¬ 
tion, the purchaser should invariably demand a certificate 
of genuiness, signed by the Treasurer, R. E. ROBBINS. 
For sale by all respectable dealers.
