FROM WEARERS.

November 6,1885.

Dear Sic, Accept my thanks for your gift of a Watcrliiry Watch. I had heard iho fame thereof, hat, had never carried one. It se<.ms impossible that so good a watch could be sold for three dollars and a-hali and any profit be made ! I shall wear it under a gold repeater, and they can compete with each other as to accuracy. The watch i. quite handsome, and appears quite as well as silver watches that cos. iho bim.B as much.

I am, truly yours,

Dear Sir,

On the 22nd October ult., I received from you a Waterbury Watch. It was running a little slow, and I moved the regulator, affcot' which ib ran about as much too fast. On the morning of tbe first day of November I carefully touched tho regulator again, and get the watch exactly v. ich a Jurgeusen watch, which is tho most perfect portable time-keeper 1 ever know, not excepting nautical chronometers. Since that time it has kept precise pace with the Jurgenson watch, and tlie diOerenco between them is not perceptible to-day. Perhaps, if the Waterbury Watch had a second hand, some fow seconds of variation might be discovered ; but thore is no apparent difference between tho minute hands capable of being detected. As this seems to mo to be an extraordinary performance, I have thought you might be interested in know ing it

Yours truly, F. A. P. Barnard,

Waterbury Watch Co. : Allow me to take this opportunity o! expressing my admiration for tho excellence of thi3 simple and inexpensive watch. It keeps better time than a silver watch in our house, which cost, at a reliable dealer's, seven times as much. Each of my boys carries one of those Waterbury watches, and with great satisfaction. Yours very truly, Wm. B. Dwigiit, Professor of Natural History, Vassar College. This is to certify that the enclosed Waterbury Watch has been run, side by side, with the U. S. Regulator Clock in the Post Office at St. Louis, Mo., also with ona that is re-

gulated and is connected by telegraph with the one in Washington University, for a test, and has not varied any way pre ceptible in two weeks' time. Respectfully, Sam. H. Simmons, St. Louis P. 0., St. Louis, Mo.
