Print. Image measures 5" x 8"
This advertisement for The Waterbury Watch Co features an image of a tall man, a short man, and a little boy picking watches from a tree. Captioned, "within the reach of all", the company aims to prove the accessibility of their watches, while the poem below emphasizes the necessity of wearing a watch. The company also boasts that their watch is the only watch on the market made entirely by machinery, and designed in America. James Vick started his career as a type setter, and went on to create numerous horticultural publications and his own seed company in Rochester, NY. The image is in very good condition. On the verso is an ad for the Waterbury Watch Co.
