‘LIFE . THE ONLY MYSTERY ABOUT A WATCH is in the marvellous instruments of precision used in its construction. Pocket timepieces are not called upon to produce anything, like looms and sewing- machines, or furnish or transmit power, like steam-engines or dynamos. All that is asked of them is to run their allotted number of hours with extreme regularity, measuring the last hour of the twenty-four with exactly the same number of minutes and seconds as the first, through all changes of temperature or varying positions. The secret of success here is simplicity and absolute accuracy. These have been made possible by the Waltham model, the wonderful machinery at Wal- tham and the skilled American mechanics there. Such a combination of a perfect watch and a reasonable price has never before been possible in the history of watch-making. Ask to see the name “/zverside” or “Royal” engraved on the plates, and always “Waltham.” They are fully warranted by the American Waltham Watch Co., of Wal- tham, Mass., the pioneer American Company. The “Riverside” movement is as accurate a time-keeping machine as itis possible to make. You can get no better, whatever you pay. Sbinch) Sam TGilon.
