USEFUL, DURABLE SILVER-PLATED 
WARE—VERY LATEST PATTERNS. 
The so-called plated ware sold generally is cheap "pew¬ 
ter."' beat or cast into good form, and covered with the 
merest film of silver. Until proved by a little wear, few 
people can detect the fraud.—BUT honest plated ware, 
with a heavy coat of genuine silver, put on good white 
metal, so as not to show when corners or small spots are 
worn off by hard usage, if in good style, is just as good 
for use , and looks as well, as solid silver ware that costs 
several times the price, and involves a constant fear of 
robbery, or loss by fire, and in many States is subject to 
taxation.—To meet 
the wants of onr 
Readers, and for 
Premiums, we have 
selected some arti- 
ticles named and

be good, double or

ent. They will all

out charge for box¬ 
ing. Expressage or
