American Watches

For Soldiers

AT REDUCED PRICES.

American Watches for Americans!

THE AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY give notice that they have lately issued a new style of Watch, expressly designed for Soldiers and others who desire a good watch at a moderate price. These watches are intended to displace the worthless, cheap watches of British, and Swiss manufacture with which the country is flooded, and which were never expected to keep time when they were made, being refuse manufactures sent to this country because unsalable at home, and used here only for jockeying and swindling purposes. We offer to sell our Watch, which is of THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL MANUFACTURE, AN ACCURATE AND DURABLE TIME-KEEPER, and in Sterling Silver Cases, Hunting pattern, at as low a price as is asked for the fancy-named Ancres and Lepines of foreign make, already referred to. We have named the new series of Watches, WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass., which name will be found on the plate of every watch of this manufacture, and is one of our trade-marks. Sold by all respectable watch dealers in the loyal States. Wholesale orders should be addressed to ROBBINS & APPLETON, Agents of the American Watch Company, 182 BROADWAY, N. Y.

NOTICE!

Recent and valuable improvements have been made in the construction of this chimney, and it is now offered to the public as a PERFECT ARTICLE. It is warranted not to crack or break in any manner from "overheating" or changes of temperature, and to last with ordinary care just as long as the lamp on which it is used. It gives us satisfaction to announce that we have completed such arrangements as will enable us, we trust, from the present date to supply the demand for this NEW CHIMNEY, which thus far it has been impossible for us to do.

SAMPLE BOXES OF ALL SIZES, STYLES, &c., $1.25, Address New Lamp Chimney Manuf. Co., 45 Fulton St., New York.
