Omaha Opinion
As to Relative Merits of the
Lancaster Watches
IS DIRECT AND CONCLUSIVE.
Omaha, Nebraska, Oct. 5, 1882.
To Laneaster Watch Co.
Gentlemen : We never saw goods sell so fast
as yours.
We have sold all kinds of Watches
here in Omaha for the past nine years, but have
never had such a « run" on any other make of
Watches. Our customers call for the Lancaster
Movements in preference to older established
Watches. We sell them at Wholesale and Retail,
and each one sold seems to recommend another.
They give, also, better satisfaction for the
money than any other Watch that we have ever
handled, and we feel confident that, as they be-
come known, the Lancaster Watches will take the
lead wherever accurate time-keepers are needed.
We will say that we heartily agree with Mr.
E. J. Zahm, of your city, in his recent estimate
of the merits of the Lancaster Watch, as com-
pared with others in the market.
Thanks for
thirty Movements just received.
We need at
once the order enclosed, as we are quite sold out.
Respeetfully,
EDHOLM & ERICKSON,
Wholesale and Retail Manufacturing
Jewelers and Practical Watchmakers.
