Every UndertalKer requires a plating outfit for re- 

 pairing and linisiiing coffin and hearse trimmings, wliich 

 are soiled, tarnistied or worn. 



Manufacturers are making and sellinar tons of new 

 tableware, jewelry, bicycles and various kinds of metal 

 goods every montla which has only a very thin plate, 

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

 sightly, unfit for future use unless plated. 



Manufacturers of new goods do no replatlng 

 of old goods whatever, but try to lorce the public to 

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

 only makes the plating business better. 



The more new thinly plated goods sold the 

 greater will be the demand for plating. Plate 

 some article for your friends and neighbors by Professor 

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

 ineness and merit and that your plating is much thicker, 

 will wear better and longer than a large percentage of 

 the new goods. Your tradeis thenestablished, and with- 

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



Traveling Outfit for Gold, Silver and Nickel Plating. 



Plate a few articles for your 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 yon deliver the good« plated to customers 

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

 will pay tor it promptly, and you will be given on an 

 average twice as much work to be plated as they gave 

 you the first time you called. 



YOl CAN DO PUTING SO CHEAP 



that every person can afford to have their goods plated. 



No tidy househeeper 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 olf 

 when they see samples of your work and hear your 

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

 ble and economical to throw away their old goods and 

 buy new when they can have their oldj goods replated 

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

 than when new. 



The best part of the plating business is that it increases 

 fast and is permanent. 



Put out your sign, 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 

 $3 to 84 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 business is netting you $20 to 53o 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 5Gc. to ~^c. for tablespoons and 

 forks, and from 60c. to §1.00 for knives. 



We allow you to set your 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 youget over cost is profit. Some agents charge 

 much niore than the above prices, while others do the 

 work for half and still make money.
