Guaranteed Silver Plated Spoons, Forks, 

 and Knives, (IT)— No idnd of silver ware is 

 put to a harder test than the Spoons, Knives, 

 and Porks that are used every day on the 

 table. An inferior article, although it may 

 look nearly as well while it is new, very soon 

 shows its real character by wearing through 

 quickly, tarnishing, and not the least losing 

 its shape. The markets are flooded with this 

 poor ware, and which is usually sold or 

 auctioned off at exorbitant prices consider- 

 ing its real worth. 



Realizing these facts, we could, in deciding 

 on those offered below feel satisfied with 

 nothing short of the very best made, hence 

 we chose the well known Rogers A 1 plated 

 ware. This ware stands unsurpassed, for 

 beauty of design, superior strength and 

 quality of the white base metal used, (of the 

 utmost importance as shapeliness after much 

 use, depends on this,) and in the largeness of 

 the amount of sterling silver deposited on 

 every article. The engravings show the pat- 

 terns we use while the size is the full 

 standard as indicated below. No finer plate 

 goods are made in the world, and every one of 

 the following articles will give perfect satis- 

 faction. Initials will be engraved on any 

 article chosen at the price previously named.

 of the cylinder. The fruit is forced forward 

 by each revolution of the tapering screw, 

 into smaller and stiU smaller space, until 

 freed of all its juice. Besides grinding and
