It having come to our Knowledge that imitations of the American Watch have been put upon the market in great pumbers, calculated by their utter worthiessress, to injure the reputation of our genuire products,—to protect our own interssts and the public from imposition, we again publish the trade marks by wkich our Watebes may in- variably be known, We manufacture four styles of Watches— The riasr has the neme “AMERICAN WATOH OO., Waltham, Mass,” engraved on the inside plate. The seconp has the mame “ APPLETON, TREACY & OO., Waltham, Mass,” engraved on the inside plate, The turmp has the name “P, 5, BARTLETT, Waltham, Mase.” engraved on the inside pate. . All the above strles have the name American Watch Oo. painted on the dial, anz are warranted in every respect, The yourrn has the name “WM. BLLERY, Boston, Mass,” engraved on the iuside plate, and is not named on the dial, ‘Ali the above described Watches are made of various sises, and sre sold in geld and silver cases, Bs may be required. It is harcly possible for us to accurately describe the numerous imitations to which we have allu- ded. They are usually inscribed with names so pearly spproacLing cur own asto escape the ob- servation of the unaccustomed buyer. Bome are Tepresented as made by the ‘Union Watch Oo., of Boston, Mazs."—no such company existing. Some are named the ‘‘Zoldier’s Wateb.” to be sold as our Fourth or Wm. Ellery style, usually known as the “Soldier's Watch;” others are named the “A ton Watch Oo.;” others the “P. B, Bart-J-y,” in- stead of curP 8.
