I WHAT •ICOM1S-- . . ~.-° r ALL . TI)j£ -* *• Watches Made In America ? EDITOR PI.AINI»KALKR: -- Human niHi l* are ever on tlie alert, and there It ft palpable harmony of thought with the masterly rapldUyjof Invent In •very dlrec Ion. Ther« I* no promi­ nent enterprise that does uoijsiart a thousand questions for Information tod nearly as many for query ana doubt, and so the question Is •constant­ ly being atked "what becomes of the Watches made In the United States?* A little history and a lew palpable farts can hardly prove unSnteresiing to the mass of readers, because almost; •verybody. from the ten year old boy Mid 6111 to the o ldest Inhab i t an t , Hears a watch of some grade. 80 the "question becomes an Important one to •fech owner of one of these "little pets the pocket," of how long will my Watch last? But as ' thereby hangs a lale" I will not anticipate. ' ; It Is onlv necessary to state facts in j|t>und numbers to literally astonish the •ost of people in regard to Amerlcau •Bade Watches of goo I grades. The Watch Manufacturing bueinet* was Started In Roxbury, Mass., in 1860, by i)eni?on, Howard & Curtis. In 1854 it Was removed to Waltham and proved 'M financial failure in the first hands.-- fn 1857 R. E. Robinson bought the properly for Appleton Tracy ACo., )d changed the name to the American ratch Company, of Waltham. Mass. The capital stock is now 91.599 099, :%ith an immense surplus. Tin; pres­ ent capacity ol that one company is at » least 1250 watch movements every day. ' l'here has been nearly three million •oade by this cne company; and in «iany single months thirty thousand r fcave been sent out. In nine of the first class factories of the United .fltates, there are on an average 30 000 fratches made every working Hay, giv­ ing employment t» over 100.000 per |on8. In this estimate I liave not in­ cluded any of the watches made In foielgn countries to imitate ours, or ,4jhose made by the smaller factories in this country. And now the question occurs again. -what be com*18 of all the watches?" Well, in answer let me say, t :>at some •re sunk bv accident in rivers, lakes •nd oceans;some are are burned with ?^t>ther household goods, while a great ' tnany are badly damaged, or ruined by watch tinkers who have no mechanical skill and are the etieap Johns of the trade, who will work for half price in Order to get business. Altera watch l»as been tinkeied out of shape, even a good workmen can hardly restore It to b reliable time keeper. An American watch 3 jould be cleaned once a year, and if done properly It wiil last a hun­ dred years, provided it meets with no accident. Some, and even many persons will carry a watch for several years with­ out cleaning, thinking they are saving money by so doing, which is often a sail mistake, for some of the pivots are being worn, which will require a good workmen to make them good again, .yibnd will cost more than the yearly Cleaning.
