S' STANDARD SCALES. 
In view of Hit great amount of proper¬ 
ty which, in the course of years, is weigh 
cd upon a single Seale, and of the fact 
that, in any ordinary business, a good 
scale will last during the life of the user, 
it is most obviously false economy to 
hazard the probability of getting an un¬ 
reliable Scale, for the sake of a small 
saving in the first cost. 
HAY, COAL, AND CATTLE SCALES. 
ADAPTED TO EVERY BRANCH OF BUSINESS 
Where a Correct and Durable Scale is required. 
HEP” These Scales are manufactured only by the Original inventors, and all others represented aa 
Fairbanks’ are mere imitations, of which purchasers should beware. 
Op They are extremely simple in construction, are made of the very best materials, by experienced 
and intelligent workmen, and under the strictest supervision of the inventors. 
Of- They have been in constant use in all brandies of business for thirty years, in all parts of 
the world, and, having been most thoroughly tried, are the acknowledged standard. 
E3T They have taken more first premiums than all oilier Scales, and, what is of more practical value, 
have received the award of superior excellence by the vast numbers who have used them for many yean. 
They are fully warranted not only strong and accurate, but durable; and the manufacturers, who 
are permanently established and fully responsible, will always be prompt to make this warranty good.

lower prices than other Scales of equal size and strength.

a hundred different modifications. 
They are cheap, convenient, strong, accurate, and durable, their superiority in these icspects hav¬ 
ing been proved by long use, and no pains will be spared to maintain, and, if possible, improve their 
quality.

JL WORD OF CAUTION. 
The well-earned refutation of these scales has induced the manufacturers and venders of 
imperfect and cheap-made balances to offer them as Fairbanks’ Scales, and purchasers have thereby 
been subjected to fraud and imposition ; and further, other manufacturers have falsely asserted that they 
have secured the services of valued superintendents and foremen from our establishment. 
The subscribers have no controversy with honorable competitors, hut regarding the perpetrators of tha 
above frauds as pursuing a course alike unjust and dishonorable , they take this method to caution tl»e 
public against their impositions. The patentees manufacture under their own personal inspection, uid 
only at their factory in St. Joiinsbury, Vermont.
