Tost.’s Patent Bucket and Cover Attacked, 
Twenty years ago a man bought a Fair¬ 
banks Hay Scale, for which ho paid two hun¬ 
dred dollars. Having some knowledge of the 
cost of tilings, he was surprised at the differ¬ 
ence between cost of manufacture and selling 
price, and came to the conclusion that scales 
could be sold at a fair profit and the price so 
reduced that every fanner in the country not 
only could afford to buy a scale, but could not 
afford to be witlfbut One, He went into the 
manufacture, and offered scales at such low 
prices that people wore afraid they were not 
good; but time proved their value, and, not¬ 
withstanding the monopolists have a liar at 
every corner to cry “the Jones Scale ain’t 
good for nothin',” there are many people who 
have had them in use nearly twenty years and 
ha ve not found it out yet. Jones of Bingham¬ 
ton has succeeded, and the secret of his success 
is, satisfaction or no sale; and he has stood 
square np to it every time without flinching, 
and tlie result is that the most popular scale in 
the world is the JONES Five-Ton Wagon 
Scale, which is full, reguhir, “genuine” scale, 
made of Iron, Steel and Brass, equal in quan¬ 
tity and quality of material and skill in work¬ 
manship to any scale ever made by anybody. 
This Scale is sold at $ 00 , freight paid by 
Jones. Any desiring information regarding 
the price of any size scale should address
