Featuring President Grover Cleveland & Mrs. President Cleveland

3 1/4 x 4 1/4, two sided advertising imprint. One side has a portrait of President Grover Cleveland with a clever advertising imprint, "Keep a Watch on the PRESIDENT! And let it be a WATERBURY. Being the head of the people he should carry the people's Time Piece." The reverse has a portrait of Mrs. Cleveland, also with a very clever advertising line, "Keep a Watch on MRS. CLEVELAND! And let it be a WATERBURY, so that the WHITE HOUSE dinners will always be "on time." Imprint below Mrs. Cleveland's image: (From a Photograph by W.J. Baker, Buffalo). The corners of the imprint have been slightly trimmed. Very fine, circa late 1800's advertising imprint using the president and first lady to promote a Watch Company. Interesting and very desirable 1800's combination presidential/advertising item.

The Waterbury Clock Company was founded in 1854 in Waterbury, Conn. Originally the company produced less expensive clocks as alternatives to compete with the high end European market. By 1887 the company created a large pocket watch which is most likely what this advert is referring to.

Grover Cleveland served two terms as President of the United States. He was the 22nd president, serving, 1885-89; and the 24th president, serving, 1893-97.
