Theodore B. Starr, rinejewelry, Precious, Stones, Watches, Silverware, c. 206 Fifth Ave. (Madison Square), New York. Through to U2G Broadway. Importer PAILLARD Non • Magnetic I Watches. Manufacturer. Uninfluenced by Magnetism or Electricity. Paillard ' s Patent Non-Magnetic Com- pensation Balance and HairSpring. . . . I have been carrying the watch sent, and going about dynamos, etc., without taking any precautions. I find that while my own watch, with a steel hair-spring, is vary- ing all the time, vour watch, which is in a pocket next to mine, is keeping time admirably. ELIHU THOMPSON, Lynn, Mass., October 10, ISs . Electrician Thompson-Houston Electric Co. . . . I ascertained its rate before te«ting it, and now after twenty-one days ' trial I can detect no variation. It is an excellent time-piece. J. L. MORRIS. Prof. Mechanics, Ithaca, X. Y., Nov. 10, 18S7. Sibley College of Mechaaic Arts, Cornell University. ... I think you have met the question squarely and found the true solution to the problem, bv using non magnetic material instead of trving to shield the magnetic. OSBORX P. LOOMIS. Boston, Mass., Oct. 10, 1887. Electrician Loomis Electric Mfg. Co. . . . During the past six months I have submitted the watches containing Paillar ' s Patent Non Magnetic Compensation Balance and Hair-Spring to tests in different fields of magnetism. I find them exempt from magnetic influence however strong, and practically no retardation of the balance nor change in the rate occurs, even when in actual contact with dynamos or powerful electro-magnels. I have been carrying one of your watches in my pocket and going around dynamos and other electrical appliances where I have never been able to carry a watch without ruining it, and it has proved an excellent time-keeper. I consider Paillard ' s Balance a most won- derful and valuable invention, not only for workers around dynamos, but wherever ac- curacy of time is required. Very truly. Orange, N. J., Dec. 7, 1887. (Signed) T. A. EDISON. The rapidly increasing use of Electricity in its multiform application makes a watch which is impervious to magnetism an absolute necessity for those who require accurate time-pieces, to be depended upon under all circumstances. We have now in stock a variety of the celebrated Non-Magnetic Watches containing Paillard ' s Patent Non-Magnetic Compensation Balance and Hair- Spring, which are uninfluenced by Magnetism or Electricity, and will not rust nor corrode. These watches, made by the most approved machinery and finished by skilled labor, are unsurpassed for durability and accuracy of performance. Every watch warranted to give perfect satisfaction.
