TEE FLORAL WORLD 



13 



' Every Undertaker requires a plating outfit for re- 

 pairing Hnd finishing coflBn and hearse trimmings.which 

 are soiled, tarnished or worn. 



Manafactarera are making and selling tons of new 

 tableware, jewelry, bicycles and various kinds of metal 

 goods every month which has only a very thin plate, 

 which in a few weeks wears oflf, making the goods un- 

 sightly, unfit for future use unless plated. 



Manafactarers of new goods do no replatlng 

 of old goods -tvbatever, but try to lorce the public to 

 throw away the old «ud buy new at high prices, but this 

 only makes the plating business better. 



The more new tblnly plated goods sold the 

 greater will be the demand* for plating. Plate 

 some article tor your friends and neighbors by I'rofessor 

 Gray's Process, and it quickly proves to them its genu- 

 ineness and merit and chat your plating is much thicker, 

 will wear better and longer than a large percentage of 

 the new goods. Your trade is ttjen established, and with- 

 in a short time you will have all the goods you can plate. 



Traveling: Outfit for Qold. Silver and Nickel Plating. 



Plate a few articles for yonr friends, call a few 

 weeks, a few months, or five years later, and you will 

 find the plate satisfactory, and they will give you every 

 article they have needing to be plated. 



When you deliver the goods plated to customers 

 they will be well pleased, in fact.delighted with the work, 

 will pay for it promptly, arid you will be given on an 

 average twice as much work to be plated as they gave 

 you the fi-rst time you called. 



YOll CAN DO PLATING SO CHEAP 



that every person can afford to have their goods plated. 



No tidy honselceeper will allow worn and rusty 

 tableware to go before a guest when it can be restored 

 and made eqUal to new. 



No person will wear jewelry or a watch, or ride a 

 bicycle, or use a typewriter, sewing machine, or any 

 machine made of metal from which the plate is worn oflf 

 •when they see samples of your work and hear your 

 prices. People in this day and generation are too sensi- 

 ble and economical to throw away their old goods and 

 buy new when they can have their old goods replated 

 for so small a cost, making them in many cases better 

 than when new. 



Thebest part of the plating business is that it increases 

 fast and is permanent. 



Put out your si^n, secure your outfit, do a little work, 

 and quickly you will be favored with orders. If you do 

 not wish to do the plating yourself you can hire boys for. 

 83 to $4 a week to do the work the same as we do, and 

 solicitors to gather up. goods to be plated on commission. 



It is not hard work, but pleasant,and especially so when 

 your bu.«iness is netting you 820 to 835 a week for 5 or 6 

 hours' work a day.. 



TREMENDOUS PROFITS, 



The profits realized from plating are tremendous. 



To plate a set of teaspoons requires only about 3c worth 

 of metal and chemicals; a set of knives, forks or table- 

 spoons about 5c worth. The balance of the price re- 

 ceived for the work is for the agent's time and profit. 



Agents usually charge from 25c. to. 50c.. per set for 

 plating teaspoons, from 50c. to 75c. for tablespoons and 

 forks, and from 60c. to 81.00 for knives. 



We allow yon to set yonr own price for plat- 

 ing. Get as much as you can. You will have no com- 

 petition. You know what it costs to plate the goods, 

 and all you get over cost Is profit. Some agents charge 

 much more than the above prices, while others do the 

 work for half and still make money.
