Dial Scales 



A scale is invaluable for check- 

 ing: up all purchases made. There 

 is a long: felt want in every family 

 for a reliable, accurate, good 

 weighing: pair of scales that is 

 sold at a moderate price. 



In preserving, cookings and 



baking, a pair of scales is 



necessary in weighing 



the proper proportion 



of fruit, sugar, etc.. as all 



recipes are now prescribed by 



ounces and pounds, instead of the old method of 



using cups, which were found to differ very materially 



size. 



When the bntcher brings a roast or leaves a steak, or 

 "grocery boy delivers your order, it's a mighty good 

 'lea to weigh it. 



Suppose a roll of butter ia porchasod. Place a 

 late upon the platform and turn the screw 

 Liwards the left until the hand is brought back again 

 to zero. Then the butter is placed on the plate and 

 the actual weight of the butter is indicated on the 

 dial. 



Warranted absolutely accurate and will last a 

 life-time. Each scale packed in an individual bnx. 

 It is entirely different trom any scale ever offered. 



It is built entirely of steel, except the dial, which is niiide ot 

 aluTninum with the marks and figures large enough to t>e seen 

 easily. The back -ground is finished in black. The platfurm is 

 made oi a heavy glazed tile, supported on double stet-l uprights. 

 This is entirely new and never seen on any scale belore. 



The scale is beautiiully finished in Alumin- _ 

 um Bronze, artistically decorated. It can be 

 instantly adjusted to be used with a basket, 

 plate or any other vessel.

 grade dark green bicycle enamelj baked on. The broom acc- 

 tion is constructed so that while it is a very sensitive action, 

 yet the wheels are always in perfect frictionai contact with 

 the brush roll. 



The sweeper will not get out of order in any way as the 

 const ructii'n is simple, there being but two sprines used and 

 they are the springs that ht)ld the dust pans firmly in place. 

 The wheels are also made of cold rolled pressed steel, with 

 long cone bearings, fitted ,vith best grade of rubber tires.

 bristles, and in ordinary service are guaranteed to last from 

 H to 10 years. No better brush is made no matter what 

 price the sweeper sells for. On account of the all-steel con- 

 struction the length of the sweeper is about 1 1-2 inches less 

 than other sweepers, alt ht^'Ueh the length of brush is just the
