CAUTION ¥ROM The American Watch Company. ‘Ithaving come to our knowledge that imitations of the American Watch have been put upon the market in greet numbers, caloulated,by their utter worthlessness, to injure the reputation of our genuine prodacts,—to protect our own interests and the public from imposition, we again publish the trade marks by which our Watches may in- variably be known. ‘We manufacture four styles of Watches— ‘The rinsr has the name “AMBERIOAN WATOH 0O., Waltham, Mass,” engraved on the inside plate, ‘The sxconD has the name “ APPLETON, TBAOY & OO., Waltham, Mass,” engraved on the inside plate, ‘The rurep has the name “P, 8. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass,” engraved on the inside plate. All the above styles have the name American Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted in.every respect. ‘The yours has the name “WH. BLLERY, Boston, Mass,”’ engraved on ‘the inside plate, and is not named on the dial. All the above described Watchdés are made of | ‘various sises, and are sold in geld and silver cases, as may be required. It is hardly possible for us to accurately describe | ‘the numerous imitations to which we have allu- ded, They are usually inscribed with names so | nearly approaching our own as to escape the ob- Servation of the unaccustomed buyer, Some are represented as made by the ‘Union Watch Co., of Boston, Mass,”—no euch company existing. Some are named the ‘Soldier’s Watch.”’ to be sold as our Fourth or Wm. Ellery style, usuaily known asthe “Boldier’s Watch;” others are named the “Apple ton Watch Co.;” others the “P. 8. Bart-Zcy,’’ in- stead of our P. 8. Bartlett, besides many varieties gamed in such a manner as to convey the idea that they are the veritable productions of the American Watch Company. Alittle attention on the part of buyers wil pro- teot them from gross imposition. ROBBINS & APPLETON, Agents for the American Watch Company, ja22-eolm 182 Broadway. New York. Meo**! MONEY! MONEY! K.
